devotion

Last Saturday, I went to the mall with my boyfriend to buy a book that I can use in Sunday School. We bought the book 60-Minute Messages for Children. I am teaching the kids in or church and I thought of changing my way and style of teaching. I was actually having a hard time at first since the kids already know me and they treat me as a friend and "ate" and not as a teacher. So, it was hard because they talk to me as if we are just "barkadas" and they won't even listen to me whenever I tell them to keep quiet. Another thing, they already know the bible stories that I teach them and I think they are getting bored whenever I tell them the stories. I think I treat them the wrong way. They're already thinking like mature adults so I just thought of changing my style. I decided to teach deeper lessons although if you read the book I bought, it is so simple that it's like it is being used for preschoolers. But it caught my attention especially the themes of each lesson. I can also still relate the lesson to bible stories.

Yesterday, Sunday, was a good day. I started teaching the kids and I felt they enjoyed our lesson. Hopefully, I would be able to include some fun and creative activities to enhance the learning and skills of the kids.

I also enjoyed looking at the devotional books at Vine and the Branches bookstore. I feel that there is already a need to spend most of my time with God. I'm planning to buy devotional books. It is really fun to read and you will enjoy it. Whenever I read those kinds of books, I feel very inspired and I feel confident that God is with me. So, I decided then to buy those books and give them as presents to my friends. In that way, I can help them build a stronger relationship with God.
