How to Choose???

Parent’s Corner- March 1, 2020

 

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17

 

How to choose???

When I was growing up, my family had a tradition on Friday nights.  We would go to a local burger place for dinner, then we would all go grocery shopping together.  When we were almost finished shopping, my brother and I would be able to choose one treat from the bakery counter.  Sometimes the choice was easy, sometimes it was very difficult!

 

This week, our Sunday school teachers had the task of reviewing many lessons from the life of Jesus.  How to choose??? How does one choose from so many great options?  I have every confidence that they made wonderful choices!  What was your child’s favorite story from the life of Jesus?  I bet the answer will be different for every child, even if two happen to be in the same class!  There are so many things our children can learn from the life of Jesus.  Lord willing, they will desire to spend a lifetime wanting to learn more!
