Someday, maybe I'll have spent enough time with you to have some of my own--and hopefully absorb some of your teaching skills through osmosis while I'm at it.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722841307525226235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875821481623789485.post-84873870635538732882011-07-28T15:59:35.054-07:002011-07-28T15:59:35.054-07:00When I taught the toddler class at church, I taugh...When I taught the toddler class at church, I taught them the song you mentioned -- "this little light of mine." As is often the case with kids, they had some challenges with the words and tune, but they caught on prettly quickly. It took a few weeks before I heard that they were singing "hide it under a bush, NO, I'm gonna let it shine." <br /><br />I started to explain to them that the word in the song was "bushel", but realized quickly that the concept of a "bushel basket" meant little to my generation, much less theirs. <br /><br />One of the things that incident taught me was that each generation has to find its own words. Spiritual truths are eternal, but we need to use our words to share those truths with others. God wants us to share from our hearts. And, for those of us listening; we need to listen with our hearts.<br /><br />Sheila, may your light of love for Jesus shine brightly. Hide it under a bush -- NO!! And, thank you for letting us listen in!Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875821481623789485.post-85553090812653893182011-07-16T15:23:35.620-07:002011-07-16T15:23:35.620-07:00I love you, Sheila.
