Thank you for this helpful editorial. It expressed the heart and soul of Sunday School so well. I particularly loved how it pointed out the value of leading by example. Kids and teens learn so much by observation and seeing their teachers living genuine Christianity. And sometimes, it can seem all too easy for adults to think we know best. I can’t tell you how many times the students have helped me see things in a different way. Big thanks to the author!

I was about to read this poem when I received a text from my son at school. He told me that he’d just been hit in the face with a door and had heard a crunch sound on impact. I messaged back immediately, in case I needed to go pick him up. Whilst waiting for a reply, I read this poem. It reminded me that I didn’t need to launch into a huge prayer to God in order to know what was spiritually true. I could trust that God had the situation in hand, and that I needed to listen, not talk. Soon my son replied to say that he was absolutely fine and no longer in pain. Thank you to the author for this poem!
