Small Blessings

TJ and I love our church. We love the people, the preaching, and the many opportunities to be involved in ministry. TJ and I are teaching the primary Sunday School class. We average three children, two that come consistently. I know it's small, but we love the interaction we have with such a small group. We can easily focus in on each of them and teach them in a way that best meets their spiritual needs. Our pastor's two youngest children are the ones that come every Sunday. They have been such a blessing to us. They are only 5 and 7, yet their ability to remember the things we teach them is amazing. We just recently finished studying through the life of David. It took us a few months. By the time we finished the quarter, Abby and Eli had memorized all of Psalm 23. Their hard work and faithfulness to memorizing the psalm, were such a blessing to us. Praise the Lord for little children with a desire to learn God's Word and hide it in their hearts!
