Out of the mouth of babes
Out of the mouth of babes
I wasn’t able to go to church with my family so I asked my four-year-old son, Joel, to tell me what he had learned in Sunday school. After thinking for a moment, he told me he had learned about Zacchaeus. Then I asked him which pastor was up front in church that morning. With some exasperation, Joel replied, “Mom, there were too many tall people in front of me so I couldn’t see.” After a little more thought, he continued, “I was kind of like Zacchaeus, except there weren’t any trees in church for me to climb!”
