Did you know that changes in barometric pressure will send a child into hyperactive outer space? Just heard that today from an experienced grade school teacher who also happens to be our Primary Chorister.
I believe it. I have a testimony of it.
Going to go spend some time in my nice, quiet, orderly, dark, hall closet now. Thanks.
For what it's worth, parents like me are so SO so grateful Sunday after Sunday for good nursery leaders. I don't know how I'd get through church every Sunday if there was no nursery.
ReplyDeleteIt will be easier as time goes by. And hey, it's only two hours a week. Just keep telling yourself that: two hours a week equals several solid gold bricks in the building of your heavenly mansion.
Your too funny! I am glad my kid wasn't one of the chaos contributors today!
ReplyDeleteROFL! Nursery is seriously one of the most difficult callings...primary chorister takes a close second (for me, anyway, lol).
ReplyDeleteI agree everything that Womna said. I owe nursery workers big time. They are a gift from God.
