The song came floating in from the back seat of the car on the drive home from soccer prqactice. "Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me," sang the little boy. This is the story one grandmother told me a few weeks ago.
Sometimes when I think of teaching children songs and stories, I think we are making deposits into their spiritual accounts. I know there are times in my life when a song, a saying or a scripture verse just comes floating into my mind - something I needed to remember at just the right moment; something I pulled out of my spiritual account that someone helped me deposit earlier in life.
We are trying to give children an account of spiritual tools to draw from through out their lives - in moments of celebration and in moments of struggle.
