Sabbath in the Cradle Roll class.\u00a0 (He assured me that he&#8217;ll be coming in to visit and give hugs to his favorite teachers.)\u00a0 At South Lyon he&#8217;ll probably stay in Muma&#8217;s beginner class a bit longer  as the other class is more of a primary level, but we&#8217;ve been prepping  him for the Kindergarten class at A2, and he&#8217;s pretty excited about it  as some of his little friends have already moved up.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been so much fun watching him learn and grow to love Sabbath School and his Saviour.\u00a0 We started out staying as long as we could before the fussies and melt-down, staying longer and longer until he could make it through the whole class, then moving from muma&#8217;s lap to his own little chair.\u00a0 And now he&#8217;s such a happy little participant, and so excited to do each thing (even helping Aidan along the way) and singing the songs all week long.\u00a0 He even runs his own little class and &#8216;programs&#8217; at home.\u00a0 He&#8217;s so excited to share Jesus with others.\u00a0 He&#8217;s been just beside himself to be Papa&#8217;s &#8216;deacon helper,&#8217; recruit the kids at South Lyon to come down to class, giddy about going door-to-door inviting people to the seminar meetings.\u00a0 He even has his own little prophecy cards he carries in his pocket and has been handing out to anyone from store clerks to car dealers.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been fun having my two little gentlemen side by side, but I&#8217;m also eager to have more one-on-one time with little Aidan and guiding him more in his own path as well.\u00a0 It is our deepest prayer that these two boys will grow to become strong men of God and willing, loyal workers for Him.\u00a0 Please continue to hold these two little treasures up in prayer&#8211; that their character would grow to reflect that only of Christ, that their paths would follow His ultimate will and plan for their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1354\" title=\"Cradle Roll1 - Page 007\" src=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"815\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007-1024x791.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007-300x231.jpg 300w, http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007-150x115.jpg 150w, http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007-400x309.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/CradleRoll2-Page-008.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Cradle-Roll1-Page-007.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So my little Alexander turned four this week and got to celebrate his birthday in Sabbath School as well.\u00a0 I brought my camera to class to take some pictures of his little event in Ann Arbor as it&#8217;ll likely be his last &#8216;official&#8217;
