So, today was the first time in a while that I've been in Sunday School teacher mode.
I forgot how much I missed being with little people. 3 and 4 year olds, attention spans the size of a flea, listening with rapt attention as I told the story of Moses's mommy putting him in a basket and sending him down the river so that he would be safe. Scribbling multi-colored, outside-the-lines versions of a baby Moses in the basket. Gluing pieces of blue construction paper around the basket to symbolize the water. Learning a memory verse: "I will be with you." Clamoring for star stickers, animal crackers, playdoh. The prize they wanted before they left: a tiny container of liquid to blow bubbles.
Back home, pull into a parking space. Hands resting on the steering wheel. One of them is decorated with a glittery orange star sticker. It was because she wanted to the red one, not the orange one, so I decided to keep the orange one for myself.
