One of the best compliments children can give their pastor and church family is to draw pictures of church.

My friend Adrien drew a picture of our church. (You can see my picture with Adrien and Alex below – – and Sparky too).

I love the picture. It made my day.

Here is why Adrien’s picture made my day. For the most part, children draw pictures of what they love. They draw pictures of their house – – or their family – -or their grandma’s house — or often of pets and animals.

So when Adrien drew this picture today, it was her way of saying, “I am loved at church. I feel welcomed there. The people at church care about me.”

What a compliment to our church family.

And we love Adrien. And her brother. And her parents.

Jesus loves them more.
