Another post by Crystal B. my summer intern.
This month in first service REEL Kids we’re going through a service that addresses some things that I’ve rarely seen covered in children’s church but that are obviously of Biblical importance. We’re talking about the little character flaws that make such a big difference; things like being rude, eating badly, and being greedy. At the same time, I myself have been going through some interesting life lessons in the importance of good housekeeping.
I’ve realized how easy it can become for us to shrug off the little disciplines. We get so focused on all of the big stones that we end up with houses full of little holes. We want to focus on the flashy things that show others how totally amazing we are instead of tending to the minor details that help to make us a whole person. But when you really get down to it, everybody knows that, oftentimes, it’s the “littlest” things that make the biggest impact. So make sure that you don’t forget the pebbles.
