wwKids - K6 Art Studio

This morning I received this email about the K6 Art Studio.

"This past weekend, I was so blessed to serve in the Art Studio with the 3rd/4th graders.
As you know, we have been focusing on the story of Samuel. We are sharing Samuel's story to teach the children the power and wonder of listening to GOD's voice. In the Art Studio, the kids were making sculptures that reminds them to listen to GOD's voice. Sheryl (Art Studio Director) provided the kids with so many materials to incorporate into their sculpture. They had fabric, yarn, sequins, feathers, piping and more importantly, blank pieces of paper for writing - WORDS. Words, that will remind them of what GOD is speaking to them, in their own personal journey to grow closer to Him.

When we asked the kids to describe what they had created, my eyes were so teary, I couldn’t see the sculptures. Here are a few examples of what I heard:

Owen - Connected his two wires on his sculpture together with piping to "show his connection to GOD"

Dustin - Shaped his two wires into the earth and then covered them with green piping.
He said "he used green to represent peace and the single yellow feather on top, was GOD"

Tyler - Attached a pink ribbon to his wire to represent "his aunt who had died, so he could remember her" and a long purple ribbon to represent "GOD because we cannot see him"

Megan - Shaped her wires into a heart to "show her love for GOD" (Megan was invited here by a friend. It was her first time here!)

As I write this, I am teary eyed again, because I see all our hard work and dedication to our kids being rewarded. . . our kids DO get it and they LOVE Jesus. They understand what GOD's presence in their lives means and how it makes a difference through their relationships. And most importantly, they ARE listening to GOD.

Yes, what we do makes a difference.
