It made it all well worth it!

The Yogi family belongs to a big Megachurch. We love it there and have got to know a lot of people and find the whole experience rewarding.

One of the things that though is that they are always short of volunteers for the Children’s Sunday Schools. I understand why. We got a little burned out as we taught together in SuperPizzaBoy’s classes for several years. We got burnt out so we quit for a while.

Sweetie started teaching again late last year in the four year old class. She ended up being the only adult though in a whole room full of healthy rambunctious kids. I volunteered to help out.

Last Sunday was my first duty. It was fun. Sweetie was the boss so I just got to play with the kids. I played legos with the boys at the lego table, I played duck duck goose with the girls. I helped shepherd them down and back from the big group room. Got to hold some hands doing that.

Back to the four year old’s room Sweetie led the lesson and I tried kept the boys focused. Then the snack. I got to help pass out the mix. Some kids liked marshmellows, others goldfish, others pretzels. I had a bunch of demanding customers. They kept me hopping pretty good!

I did get a tip though. One little girl said come here, hugged my neck with her little arms, and said “you smell beautiful.” I’m not sure what she meant, I don’t wear any cologne but I do bathe at least once every spring, but it made my day!

    Yogi what a sweet story. I bet it is fun to work with the little kids. I’m kinda without a church at the present. Have been checking them out but haven’t found one yet that fits.
