Religion Classes in Action

We're very blessed to have found a very good school for our children, one that instructs religion classes from kindy.  Just before Term 4 (2008) concluded, James (yr 1, 7yo) and David (kindy, 5yo), put their learned values into action in their daily lives....

After missing out on the part of Joseph for their end of year Christmas concert, I asked James how he felt that he was a shepherd and not Jospeh.  James said...

"It's ok, mum.  I like being a shepherd.  Do you remember who else is a shepherd?  (short pause)  Jesus!  And who are his sheep?  (another short pause)  Us!"

It's a wonder he still lets me call him my baby but I'm glad!

David has also shown this application of learnt lessons to everyday life.  Once, after letting James brush his teeth first, when everything between them is usually a race, I asked David what made him give way to his older brother.  David's response was...

"Remember in God's Kingdom, the first will be last and the last will be first, mum?" 

Wow!
