I talked to the kids(which included Carter) about learning the bible from my Grammy and parents. I asked them to name someone who taught them the bible. Most kids said Mom, Dad, Grandma, etc. But Carter piped up with Caden! When I asked him to explain why he chose Caden he answered, "he lets me listen to his Sparks CD with him and explains the stories to me!"
We finished up the story then for the craft time we made cards to thank the people in our lives who taught us the Bible. Here is Carter's card...

Pretty nice moment, but it gets better folks!
When we had Carter give his brother the card, my heart melted just a bit!
Carter: here Caden I made this for you. Thank you for teaching me the Bible.
Caden: aww thanks man, this is cool! (said while putting his arm around Carter's shoulders!)
MELT MY HEART!!!!!
I have to be honest, in class today my pride was hurt Carter didn't say my name. I mean I am his Sunday school teacher and Cubbies teacher. But God opened my heart and ears and I discovered the impact Caden's example was having on his little brother and I was truly touched!
Sometimes it is just the little things that God uses to remind me of my most important job...
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."
