Cubbies


Last night was our last night of Cubbies. Next week will be our celebration week where our Cubbies will get their awards for saying their verses and we will have a little program that the parents and family members can come to. The year went by so fast, and now here we are at the end. My favorite part of Cubbies is the Bible time. It was been such a priveldge to teach these children about who God is and his plan of salvation for them. Some children came with a good foundtaion already laid, other came with very little knowledge of God. Each week we would review what we had already learned and then learn a little bit more. Yesterday when I was doing the last Bible lesson, I found it hard knowing this would be the last time I would be sharing Biblical truths with some of them. We were reminded again this year how short life is as one of the Sparks (the next Awana club for 5-7 yr. olds.) died suddenly at home. What a joy it would be to see each of these children in heaven! Many of the Cubbies come from good Christian homes where they will continue to be taught from the Bible. But there are others that will not be getting any teaching. Will there be others that will invest spiritually into these children? I have found myself stopping many times today to pray for these children. We had 15 Cubbies this year. If all these children come to know the Lord and live for him, what a difference they can make in this world! If you have a minute would you be willing to stop and pray for these 15 dear children?
