People can change!

This week in Sunday school we read How the Grinch Stole Christmas. After we got past the questions on WHY we were reading a Christmas story in July, great things began to happen. I learned that I could listen to Sarah Oldrin read the phone book and if the silence in the room is any indication, the kids agreed with me! Along with the Grinch, we read the story of one of my favorite Bible grouchy guys, Zaccheaus. We had some wonderful examples from the kids of times when we took our anger and frustration out on other people as well as examples of acts of kindness that changed our attitudes. I pray for us all to have fewer Zaccheaus/Grinch moments, and more opportunities to be Jesus/Cindy Lou Who. You never know when an invitation to dinner can change the size of a heart.
