Taking Levi to school

We started taking Levi to kinder garden last year, when we realized that Levi was not getting much attention while Jessie was teaching the girls in school. We didn't want him watching tv for three hours everyday either. So enrolled him into a preschool here which they call kinder garden. Kids as early as 3 years old start going to school. It is only from 9-12, everyday. This year various people from our church all started bringing their kids to the same kinder garden. Sometimes we chitchat about this or that. Jessie dropped off Levi one time and didn't get back to the house until close to 10. On Monday I brought Levi and said good morning to two of the other ladies bringing their kids. They then proceeded to ask me about the "wrath of God" which we had been discussing our bible study on Romans. It was a topic that I think they had never really thought about. The thing we hear over and over again is that God is a god of love. True that He is, but at the same time fully just in His wrath towards sin. I have been attending a leadership training class about the Old Testament. Often times God had patience with the nation of Israel but because of their unbelief or worship of Idols, He would punish them by taking His hand of protection away. So after some discussion as well about right from the beginning when Adam and Eve sinned, the punishment for sin was death. They didn't pay with their lives at that moment but there was an animal sacrifice for their sin.

Then we moved on to a different topic, Communion. On Sunday we announced that we would be having communion next Sunday and that we should prepare our hearts for this time. We would spend time in prayer for one another in place of the sermon dividing up into men and women. (One of the benefits of having a small church.) So they wanted to know where they could read about communion in the bible and how we as "Christian" view communion. It was a good opportunity to see they were both hungry for the truth. One mentioned that she her daughter was required to go to a special mass for school for one of the numerous virgins that was being celebrated. She was not going to go with her daughter but decided to go. Her owns words were, "It was such a waste of time. These people come and do this ceremony but do not change at all. They come in the same and leave the same. They aren't looking for truth." It was amazing to hear this young believer identify how empty religion can be. How it is just something to mark of your list. I am glad to be able apart of what God is doing in the hearts of some people here. Just another day of walking Levi to school everyday! You never know what might happen.
