e-mail from last week

Have a great day everyone
I do daycare during the summer. I will probably refer to them as my summer kids.

I tried to talk to my summer kids at my house about lying today. A couple of them were lying about something and I knew it. They didn't think I did. We discussed lying and how it is a sin in Gods eyes no matter how big or little it is. The children I have watched through the years have always asked questions about what a sin is. After I tell them it is the wrong choices we make they know right away what I am talking about. (we talk about making good choices at school every day, the difference here is that I can talk about God at my house) I told them that it hurts God's heart when we sin and we need to make it right with Him. I do go on to tell them how I make it right when I sin, but I don't force them to do it. I have been fortunate that the parents that I have had through the years do not mind me talking to their kids about God and of course Jesus. I have a Muslim family this year and they have other ideas about Jesus. I will not leave Him out of conversations with the kids though. He is to much apart of my life to do that.
