Lesson Learned Today Jan 15

GET DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL: What do I mean. For example, today I had to put up posters for the kids to use in their lesson. As I started to hang them I realized - wait - these are for the younger children - and as short as I am - they are still shorter. So I bent down and put them at the eye level of the children using them. We forget this too often. We are big people, but we need to look at things from their level and their perspective sometimes.

Children's ministry can seem to be daunting at times. But - remembering that they are people and working to make it their children's ministry can make a big difference. Get down on their level and ask them what they like about your program and what they do not like - you will be surprised at the answers sometimes, but it will help you find your way. Remember - it is all about helping the kids find their way to Jesus and through the Bible and it can be a chore or a delight. I vote for delight!
