Good News

I love it when a plan comes together! In last week’s Good News Club I challenged the children as to how they knew that I was telling them the truth. I told them never to accept what ANYONE tells them is in the Bible, unless that person can show them the verses in the Bible. The boys took me seriously! Today, when Nick Williams told them that Jesus considered the Bible to be the Word of God, two boys piped up “Show us!” Then, as he was telling them the story of Daniel’s encounter with the Lord (it sounds like a far-fetched story) Caleb asked (with a hint of incredulity) “You got that story from the Bible?” Next question “Where?” (Dan chpt 10) He then turned to the chapter, and read it for himself. I was delighted!
After the Good News lesson, some children stayed behind and made cards, one did origami with me, and a number got creative with plasticine. Then they wanted to see “the kitten”. About 10 of them went to the manse to play with Clawed and watch a DVD. I very bravely put Madison in charge of the group (Graeme was upstairs in his study) while I went to my next lace lesson with Wanda.
I came home about half an hour later, to be told that Clawed had peed on Oksana AND on the carpet…
Over the next half an hour or so, they left, one by one – except for Ontray and Rene. They entered their own imaginery world, while playing with lego, toy cars, and building discs, with me sitting near them, winding my next set of lace bobbins.
Unfortunately, I must have picked up a bug, and started feeling poorly later in the afternoon. Went to bed at 8.00pm.
