Church potlucks take a bunch out of me. I want to/ I think I should give the gift of drawing people out, being interested in them....not nosey....listening to what is important to them. At the same time, I want people to do that to/for me, but that doesn't happen much. The whole thing is very draining.
AND this, after teaching, which is fun, but requires a lot. AND all this without feeling and emotional familial support system in place.
Yesterday, though, I was given a giant gift. Two, count 'em, two of my KidZone kids approached me and asked if they could say sections of the books of the Bible. [An ongoing project we have.] This, not in class, but afterward. They had worked and worked and worked to master the Pauline epistles and the minor prophets while they ate and socialized at the potluck. Boys! Working at a party to learn the books of the Bible! What a gift. Thanks, guys! Thanks, Father.
