Another year of AWANA has started. Which means another year of preparing lessons, eating delicious, fattening desserts, staying out every single Wednesday until 9pm, hours of game time filled with 60 kids screaming, another year of the Blue Team (my team) always losing, and it also means Charlie is now old enough to be in Puggles!
Puggles, for those of you who aren't familiar with AWANA, is the 1st class in the series. They are 2-3 years old and they learn all about what God made- so far we've learned that God made "sun, moon, tars, yight, cwouds, sky!" Charlie even pointed to himself one night and said, "God....made.....ME!!!!" And I about lost it! He did make you, Charlie!! He made my precious baby and now my precious baby is learning all of the wonders of who God is!
I opened the Bible and told him that "This book is a very special book. It is a book God made that tells us about Him and how to love Him and how to love others." I read Charlie a couple verses and we talked about the different things God made, such as light to see our shadows with. Charlie is so observant to the things around him. A teeny, tiny jet can't pass the area of our sky without Charlie's little eyes seeing it. Once, when he was 14 months old he said, "pane!" a couple of times before pointing. After focusing our eyes in the bright light we saw a microscopic airplane. I knew then he either had binoculars for eyes or he just would be the kind of kid that wouldn't miss a thing.
He likes Puggles very much!
I look forward to training Charlie up to know that every good thing and every perfect thing is from God. To teach Charlie what it means to love others for the cause of Christ and to love God more than anything else is my soul's mission. Nothing on this earth is greater than the love of God toward His children. That's why He gave His own Son to die...because He loved mine so much...
