Why It's Great To Be Me

I am proud of my kiddies. There is no denying that. I am proud of how they're growing up, I am proud of how generous and kind they are to others (not always each other but atleast towards other people). I am proud of their morals and how they don't seem to judge others (I hope that continues). And I'm really proud of the way that they all say that they love Jesus. I know they are young and that they might just be saying it but not really understanding what it means to say it, but it starts young in some people to know Jesus as their friend and Saviour and we are sowing into their lives now. 

I was so so so proud of Daniel when it came to doing his news topic this term 'Why It's Great To Be Me'. I am not good at talking myself up. I hate doing interviews or even accepting compliments. I just find it hard to do, so I was nervous when I saw that was Daniel's first news topic for this term.

The kids needed to present 3 reasons why it is great to be them. I asked Daniel what his 3 people were going to be. He responded with I don't know. I left it for a bit and asked him for 1 reason and he came up with this one. 

My heart was so happy to hear him say this. Not just that he loves Jesus, but also that he wants to let others know about Jesus so that they can be in Heaven also. I love that he was bold enough to say this infront of his class. I love that he hoped it would change some of his friends' thoughts about Jesus. 

I told Carol, our children's minister, about what Daniel said and she told me that I should video it for it to be a good news story to share with the wider church family. Daniel was more than happy to do it.

I hope that as he grows up (and Eliza and Alexander too) that their love on Jesus continues to grow. I hope that they continue to want others to know about God and his love and what Jesus did for us. I hope that they will be a light to those in darkness around them. I hope and pray that lives will be transformed through these 3 kiddies. I believe that they will.

Great work Daniel!
