A Letter to my Toddler Sunday School Class

Dear Toddler Class,

Your class will always be my favorite..... You were my first toddler class to teach in Sunday School. You are the kids who God used to reveal His guiding plan for my life.

Thank you for building my confidence in teaching God’s word.  By participating and showing excitement in each activity, you showed me the value of teaching toddlers about Jesus.  Because I knew, even if you didn’t realize it, you were learning and understanding about salvation and grace.

Thank you for always being willing to help, for the times you volunteered to be a Bible character for our lesson, and for each time you eagerly asked to be the line leader as we walked next door to the Country Store.

Thank you for putting your stickers on the attendance board as you came in each week and for commenting on the bulletin boards when they were changed for the new season.

Thank you for the blessing you always said before snack time and for the prayers you prayed for each other when they were sick.  

Thank you for the times you misbehaved and taught me that even in that we could all learn a lesson about being patient and growing.

Thank you for all the funny stories you shared.

Thank you for all of the spontaneous hugs on Sunday morning.

I will remember all of these things, but you probably won’t remember them, because you are growing and learning so many more wonderful things. And that makes me so proud of you. Always keep your enthusiasm for learning about the Bible. I pray that a seed was planted in you that will be watered and grow and you will become all that Jesus wants you to be.

And remember, you can always stop back by our classroom for some cheese balls or goldfish crackers … and a great big hug!!

Love, Ms. Paula
