Take your kids to church.
Make the effort. Wake them up early. Fool with the belts and the buckles and the fancy hair bows. Endure the sleepy, grumpy faces and the misplaced shoes. Run around like a mad woman gathering everybody’s everything and trying to get out the door on time. Hop to the car with a shoe in each hand. Give those babies a pop-tart and some milk and let ‘em eat it in the car. If its raining, get wet. If its cold, get a jacket. If you’re tired, go tired. But take those babies to church. You know why?

Because Jesus is there.

He’s there. And He’ll meet them there. And you too, Mama.
He’ll be there in the sweet smile of their Sunday School teacher as she greets them into their room. He’ll be there in the goldfish and the apple juice and the filling of their little bellies and hearts. He’ll be there in the hug from a sweet friend and the encouraging smile that assures you that they “just barely made it” too. He’ll be there in the sacred words read from the Bible speaking truth to their little impressionable hearts. He’ll be there in the worship and the raised hands and the watery eyes and whispers of praise.

So take them. Carry all of their Bibles and drawings and toilet paper tube creations. Sit by them in worship. Open your Bible and open theirs. Show them how to find the scripture the pastor is preaching from. Show them how to worship. Explain to them why He’s worthy of worship. Let them see you laugh and cry and praise and study. Forgive their wiggles and paper rustles and know that they’re listening even when it seems like they aren’t. Ask them questions and answer the ones they ask you. Introduce them to Jesus. Tell them of His greatness - his power - his faithfulness. Tell them with your words and show them with your life. Tell them what he’s done for you and how you’ve been changed by His grace and forgiveness and goodness and love. Tell them how they can be too. Point them to Jesus. Over and over and over again.

Take your kids to church. They’ll love it there. It’s the only place where they can go and just be themselves. They don’t have to “be” good enough or smart enough or athletic enough. They don’t have to perform for approval or achievement. They just get to go and hear how much God loves them. Just because they’re them. Just because He created them, they’re valued. Wanted. Their worth isn’t based on the grades they make or their ability to throw a curveball. Its not dependent on their performance or skill level. And they need a little more of that, don’t you think? A little more grace and a little less pressure. A little more love and a few less demands.

Take them to church. Before you take them to the ballfield or the gym. Before you take them on vacation or to grandma’s or to the backyard to play. Take them to church. Let them know its a priority. Show them it has eternal value. Let them see you set aside schedules and extra curricular activities and work and busy-ness to be present with the Lord in His house. I promise you won’t regret it. I promise you it won’t return back void.
Take them to church.

Nobody in a Texas church has ever had to be told what dish to bring. 🥘

You just knew. Every family had the one thing they were known for, and you did not show up carrying somebody else's thing. There was a woman whose squash casserole was the reason people came at all, a family who always brought the deviled eggs on the good plate, somebody's mother whose sheet cake had an icing nobody else could replicate. The lineup was unwritten and completely fixed, and the one year somebody tried to switch, every person in that room noticed.

The fellowship hall is where a lot of the actual church happened. Announcements got made in the sanctuary, but the news traveled over the folding tables. Who was in the hospital, whose crops were in trouble, which family had a new baby and needed meals brought for two weeks. Somebody was always quietly organizing all of that, and it worked better than most systems built by people with budgets and job titles.

There was also a hierarchy to the serving line that nobody would admit existed. 😄 If you went through before the older folks had been fed, you heard about it in a tone of voice that ended the discussion permanently.

What was your family's assigned dish, the one you would never have shown up without?

We have a collection bin for donated items in the foyer of our sanctuary. Please pray about helping those less fortunate during the upcoming holiday season! Let's make a difference in the lives of others by sharing the love of Jesus through giving! ❤️
