Kids in the house!

The joy of being a Sunday School teacher/helper is... interacting with the kids! Today we invited the worship team over for a little post-PSLE get-together cum "meeting" to discuss the songs for the next two months.
 
First time we are doing that, and it was because one of the older ones said it's better to give them heads-up on what songs we choose, so that they can lead the session better. 
 
So we had pizza, fried chicken wings, fries, potato chips, coke etc. It was a short two hours and we probably screamed the whole estate down. But it was great having this bubbly bunch over; their unlimited level of energy was almost contagious.
 
Pizza by the balcony.
 
"What songs should we choose?"
It was quite funny how earlier in the day at church we were approached by parents who had concerned looks on their faces. "We heard that you are having an 'open house' today for the kids," they said, half-jokingly followed by a good-luck-to-you and I-hope-you-know-what-you-are-getting-into kind of look.
 
Granted, we had to do some major cleaning up after the kids left (we do that every time we had guests anyway). But the kids were awesome and I think they did their best to keep clean and tidy.
 
You know what people say, about how you go into something thinking that you are giving but in the end you are receiving? That's exactly how I felt today.
 
So thank you kids, for the wonderful time today. And most of all thank you God, for the chance to experience your love through your wonderful little creations.
