Updated PreSchool schedule and a note from Lori

When you have 12 little ones under the age of five in a small room….well, it’s sometimes hard to muster the love of Christ – can I get an AMEN? Such was the case for me yesterday. As I reflect on the hectic morning the Lord is whispering to me, “It is when little ones are being the most unlovable, that they need MY love the most.” Ouch! That’s hard to do when puzzles are flying through the air, temper tantrums are being thrown, and we find ourselves up to our elbows in glue (literally!).
You know what would have helped? If I hadn’t been so rushed that morning. I wasn’t fully prepared for the craft, one of the helpers didn’t show up, and I didn’t pray before the kids arrived. Next time, I’ll do things differently. There may still be some “unlovable” behavior going on, but being there early enough to prep and pray will hopefully change my reaction to that behavior. Please know we are working on a long-term solution to the craziness of 12 preschoolers in one room. Until then, however, try coming prepped and prayed up – it may just help to show the love of Christ a little easier!
