One of our earliest memories from Sunday School is the picture of Jesus blessing the little children.  He had one on His lap and other boys and girls standing or seated all around Him.  Looking at that picture before we could read or write, we learned that Jesus is a child’s friend.  We learned the most wonderful lesson of all:  God loves us and cares about us, and we have worth as children.  Another memory from long before we were old enough to go to school is singing, “Jesus loves me, this I know; for the Bible tells me so.”  And again we learned about God’s love and care for us.

Abraham Lincoln wrote these words concerning children:  “A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started.  He is going to sit where you are sitting when you are gone.  He will attend to those things which you think are important.  You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him.  He will assume control of your cities, states, and nations.  The fate of humanity is in his hands - in the hands of a child.”

As we see another class of seniors graduate and begin their journey in the world, what we have taught them at home and at church will be a guiding influence.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
