The Value of Consistency

This past Sunday I walked into one of my preschool rooms to find two children who looked very sad.  One had his chin resting on the checkin counter, just staring straight ahead and looking pitiful.  The other was sitting in a corner underneath a play structure in the classroom, refusing to play or engage in the activities.

I quickly asked the volunteers in the classroom if everything was okay and they began explaining to me how the children's favorite volunteer was on vacation and they were missing him.

What a picture of the impact each of us can have on a child by loving them and being a part of their lives each week.  These two kids look forward to coming to church each weekend to see their favorite leader - because he's there every week, talks with them, plays with them, and teaches them about God ... and they love that!
