Kids can learn

So I just got off the phone with my sister and we got on the subject of church. She started telling me about a story that really made me appreciate what I am going to do at Madras. She works with 1-3 year olds at her church, which is a new department for them. She has really enjoyed working with them. Anyway, here is the story

"I was getting ready to go to church and I turned to Olivia (my sisters daughter) and said, we are gonna go to church and learn about the fish and birds, then Olivia chimed in, and Jesus!"

Now to me, that is just an awesome story. She is only 21 months old and already is getting so much out of church. My sister told me this

"you know how in a class there are kids who want to learn, then kids who don't really care, then there are kids who just don't want to learn? Well that is how it is here, but most of them just want to learn about God, and they are so young"

I mean, we are talking about 1-3 year olds, and they are already understanding the concept about this guy who created the earth and all that inhabit it. I think that is the coolest thing on earth. This story really hit me with a powerful rush of knowledge of what I am doing for these kids. Just clicking a button on a computer to show a kid a video or the lyrics to a song is important and helpful. It was so cool to hear this story about my niece and my sis and all that she is doing. My niece is even making friends at the church. I am so happy to hear that little kids can even get something out of this.
