I don't know if you remember a picture taken when Janice was still here, with 3 little kids in the front with their mother and grandmother. They come to GBC from time to time--happy to see them again, I hurried to the kids' room in the back where the children met during the worship sermon.
Sunday morning's children's lesson was on Creation, and Mami used the Japanese flashcards to tell the story. How good it is to know that the great, big God who rules the universe cares enough for little ole me that He would want to take a week to make an entire world for me to live in!
After the Bible story, the kids could use the playpen or play games...Mami brought out the Jenga blocks this week!
The little 4-year-old wasn't interested in Jenga or the playpen and wanted his mother's attention--who, unfortunately, had her hands full with baby sister! But the God Who put the stars in space saw this little feller too, seemed to know he would have an affinity to the camera. He simply watched as buttons, toggles, dials were used; then learned to focus, zoom, even flip the finder to take selfies!
Mami's husband had preached a few weeks ago about how God had to come Down to humans who were building a Tower of Babel Up to Heaven. I had to smile at Mami who tenderly looked down at our junior cameraman's older brother who was building up the Jenga Tower, wonder if she even remembered that sermon.
Perhaps not. But no matter. The kids had made one promise at very beginning: not to touch the foodstuff on the table, because that was going to be put out after the baptism. That 4-yr-old had no problem keeping his hands off because he was busy photographing it! And a few minutes later, Mr. Kina cracked open the door, saying they were starting baptism; did we want to watch? Oh--that will be a latter post.
