Childhood’s time is Adam and Eve’s time before they left the garden for good and from that time on divided everything into before and after. It is the time before God told them that the day would come when they would surely die with the result that from that point on they made clocks and calendars for counting their time out like money and never again lived through a day of their lives with- out being haunted somewhere in the depths of them by the knowledge that each day brought them closer to the end of their lives.

Summer Glee There is something amazingly refreshing and encouraging to hear the

laughter glee enthusiasm and ordinary excitement of the children of the con-

gregation during Vacation Bible School Again this year our families and

children were treated to an amazing adventure Thanks to our Directors

Robin Joel and Rachel Hole and all who made it a special time

But it reminded me of the reflection of another writer

What Child while summer is happening bothers to think much

that summer will end What child when snow is on the ground

stops to remember that not long ago the ground was snowless

It is by its content rather than its duration that a child knows

time by its quality rather than its quantitymdashhappy times and

sad times the time the rabbit bit your finger the time you had

your first taste of bananas and cream the time you were crying

yourself to sleep when somebody came and lay down beside

you in the dark for comfort Childhoodrsquos time is Adam and

Eversquos time before they left the garden for good and from that

time on divided everything into before and after It is the time

before God told them that the day would come when they

would surely die with the result that from that point on they

made clocks and calendars for counting their time out like

money and never again lived through a day of their lives with-

out being haunted somewhere in the depths of them by the

knowledge that each day brought them closer to the end of their

lives [1]

While the clock is ticking for all of us donrsquot forget to appreciate and enjoy

the energy enthusiasm delight and authentic joy of children Who knows ndash

in their laughter and glee we may overhear the warm and gleeful laughter and

love of our Creator

See you in worship
