Bible Lesson

Recently, one of the little girls left the day home.   She returned for a visit, and another little girl, Elsa, was eagerly urging her to return.  ”You need to come back!  You need to be here!”  Mary, the teacher, upon hearing this, explained that the little girl is in a home where she is being cared for and no longer needs to attend the day home.  Elsa was still upset, however, and wanted the other little girl to return.  Mary again explained why the little girl did not need to return.  ”But teacher”, protested Elsa, “She HAS to come back.  How else will she learn about God?”

To Elsa, the day home was not just a place to come for good food, friends, and fun.  To her, the most important reason for being there was to learn the Word of God!  It did not matter that this other girl was being cared for physically, Elsa was concerned about her spiritual care.  How beautiful to see the Lord working in the lives of these precious children through the Day Home and the lives of those like Mary who invest their time and love.
