Children's Church

I teach a group of preschoolers during church on Sundays. We do a lot of singing. One of the favorite songs is “Father Abraham.” It is a happy song about the biblical character Abraham with lots of motions. We look like we’re doing Hokey Pokey when we are singing it. So I knew what three-year-old Ben meant when he asked if we could sing the song about Abraham Lincoln, but I found it hard not to laugh. He must live with a family who talks a lot about American history. His next request was that famous church song, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.”

I love teaching children.

Reminds me of the time The Child was reciting the Creed...she was 3:

"God from God, Light from Light,
I wish I may, I wish I might".
