The Greatest Sunday School Teacher Ever

One of the first people to help me make sense of God was Mr. Greenwald - my 4th grade Sunday School teacher. When I have identified the three or four most importnat people in my development as a leader, Pastor, and follower of Jesus Christ -Mr. Greenwald was one of those important figures in my life.

Recently I had the chane to meet him again -after 30 years! (WOW). It was such an incredible honor to share with him what an important influence he was one my life. Funny - he could not remember so many of the details of me being in his class. His only comment was - he remembered I was a 'handful".

A word to all current Sunday School teachers. You have an impact on young lives that you may never fully be aware of. Your weekly commit to shape young lives for God's commitment is not in vain. Even for the kids that are a little bit talkative and trouble makers :)
