My oldest is in third grade in the local public school (which is a great one, by the way) and this year he’s had quite a few writing assignments.

The most recent was a big essay which started with a thesis statement. When I stopped in to see the teacher she raved about his essay and said she would make me a copy and was making herself a copy to keep for further years (the original goes to his forth grade teacher). I was (and still am) a very proud mama!

His thesis statement was, “Have you ever wondered if there was a program for kids where you learn about God and have fun at the same time?” He then goes on to tell about our church’s Children’s Ministries (which I’m the director of so I was even prouder.)

Not only did he tell about all the fun but he told about the lessons, the service projects and kids inviting their friends and family so they learn about God and become a part of our church.

It was so sweet and touching to see that it mattered to him, that he gets what we do and why we do it.

It was also pretty amazing to think of my third grade son sitting and sharing these things with his teacher and his class. He has been outspoken about his faith since he started school and has invited many friends to our different ministries, some whose families have gotten involved or have at least started seeking.

It’s amazing to see God at work in the lives of my children and once again I’m just grateful that he’s alowd me on for the ride.
