Our annual Sunday School prize night is next week. Being Reformed Baptists we stick to the regulative principle of worship, that being so, this is the one night of the year that the kids get to stand at the front of the church and recite and sing as taught by the teachers.
This year the class I try to keep control over teach are ages 2-4 (yes 2-4)! To keep the recital easy for the little ones I have incorporated some hand actions into their story. We are telling the story of how Abraham was faithful to God and how God “Always keeps His promises”. The 2 year olds’ role is to say “God always keeps His promises” while doing the thumbs up!
At home here babymac has been re-hearsing hard and just to-day I heard him practising while in the other room. As I looked on from the hall-way, the driver of the bin lorry was doing the thumbs up at him through the window and there was babymac imitating his actions and screaming out the window “GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIMS PROMISES!!!!”
What age is just too early to start witnessing?!

Good to know that you are practising the translation for Jenni, it will be helpful for her to learn Irish English before making the move
Warmest regards

I see it’s a real family affair!
Jenni - I knew you would work it out - others obviously lacked confidence!!
RB - Thanks for your regards and support.

That is so funny! We were all laughing when we read it.
Sometimes we think the little ones are not taking it all in but its
wonderful what the little ones do take in.

Thanks for the translation…I was kind of putting two and two together, and thought…they must mean a garbage truck man…:)
