Fifth graders in the 9:00 a.m. Sunday school class made posters expressing what they had received from God throughout their live. Among their favorites were:
Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, pets, home, grandparents, aunts, uncles, food, clothing, friends, nice church, the Bible, an education, jobs, toys, transportation and teachers.
Some that we also wanted to share with the congregation were:
oven, toaster, green beans, nature, air conditioning, heat, playground, oxygen, good land, microwaves, light bulbs,
talents, hamburgers and French fries, hugs, kisses and love.
We are truly grateful for that special “gift of love,” the creative and enthusiastic fifth graders, that we are blessed with each Sunday! Let us all take a moment every day to appreciate each and every “gift of love.”
Dear God,
We thank You for the blessings of children. Their love in unconditional like Yours. Help us to learn from them, as we try to impart to them the wisdom of our experience. They are our hope for the future. We thank thee Lord for Your gift of love through our children and through Your Son, Christ Jesus.
Amen
B. Palmer, B. Pierce, and J. Dressel, teachers
