Three weeks ago our church's children ministries leader asked me if my 8yo dd could give the children's homily for this weekend's youth led worship service.
I said yes although dd didn't want to. I told her that it would just like be retelling which we do so often for school. (She's in BHFHG, btw)
She was given the print out for the homily but she didn't read it until a week later. I was thinking we needed to practice it everyday but kept putting it off. Well, last Wesnesday, I told her we needed to practice. She answered that she already knew it and proceeded to "retell" the story. I was floored. We didn't need to practice anymore. Well, I did make her retell it just one more time with her cookie props.
Thank you Carrie and Mike for this wonderful program. We have been blessed by your curriculum again and again. I praise God that with HOD's help, my dd was able to serve Him in church today.

How exciting! The merits of orally narrating cannot be overstated. It is a skill that crosses over into virtually every single part of life, from giving homilies to sharing phone messages, from telling a friend about the movie you saw, to sharing the Sunday sermon with someone you care for. Give your dd a big HOD hug - way to go!

Thanks so much for sharing! What a blessing it is to see skills like narration carryover into a child's daily life. It is exciting to catch unexpected progress and realize our kiddos are taking in so much more than we thought!
