Teaching About the Wedding At Cana

Hi, Everyone!

So, this evening in Vacation Bible School, I taught the little kiddies the story of the wedding at Cana, and we had a great discussion about this particular lesson. In teaching this lesson to the Cradle Roll class, I focused more on the instructions that Jesus had given to the servants; if you recall, Jesus instructed the servants to fill up the six waterpots up to the brim.

And then it happened.

As I was giving the lesson, the kiddies had all kinds of questions. The most popular question of ‘em all, and admittedly my personal favorite:

“Miss Natasha, how did Jesus turn the water into wine?”

I just knew someone would ask me that, but I gave them an honest answer. I gathered them around and said: “Kiddies, I haven’t the slightest idea how Jesus turned water into wine; all I know is that Jesus told the servants to fill the waterpots up with water, and when they served it, wine appeared.” I was quick to point out to my Cradle Roll class that just because I was their teacher did not mean that I knew all of the answers. “If I knew all of the answers, I would’ve created the world in six days,” I said with a smile. Upon hearing my statement, my top pupil Beverly made it perfectly clear that I didn’t need to create the world in eight days because she thinks that I’m still a good teacher.

Out of the mouths of babes, y’all! Beverly’s compliment really made me smile.

Needless to say, the Cradle Roll did yet another great job in giving the review of what they learned in class. Personally, I don’t think I did that great of a job in teaching the story of Jesus’ first miracle, but Lord in Heaven knows that I gave it my all to tie tonight’s lesson in with the theme of obedience. I can’t worry about it too much… actually, I’m not gonna worry about it at all, because I did my best, and that is a victory in and of itself. Besides, it’s like Gramma Jewel has always taught me: I should just do my best, and let God do the rest.

Well, I’ve gotta get back on it again tomorrow, y’all. This time, I’m gonna teach the Cradle Roll the story of the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace. I think they will enjoy that scripture because Heaven knows I loved it when I was a little kiddie myself. Anyway, I’ve got some studying to do, but I’ll holla at y’all later.


Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
