"I ate my craft!"

I love my job. I actually believe working with children is one of the most rewarding things someone can do. I have been told that I should be writing down all the funny things kids say to me. So... last Sunday I was sitting at the desk after church and one of our staff guys daughters came up to me. She has an infectious smile and she is a hugger. She hugs me every week and I really look forward to it. Bethany walked up to me and said, "Miss Dawn, I ate my craft!" Now that is not something I hear every week, and really I laughed so hard I though I was going to fall on the floor. She was beaming telling me about the sheep she made is Sunday School made of marshmallows and raisins and toothpicks. When craft time was over the sheep looked so good she ate it. So far, that has been the quote of the week. I hope I never lose the reason I do this job. It's not for the money, or for the praise from people, I do it so I can see children have fun and love coming to church. I do it for kids like Bethany who make my week!
