Worship and Grasshoppers

Ha! I love fourth and fifth graders.

The KidMo (hyperactive video curriculum for 4th and 5th graders) lesson in Sunday School this week was about worship. We talked about how worship is anytime you are awed by God -- anytime you see something that makes you say, "Wow, God!" and how we can have
Awesome
Worship
Every
Day
if we just look for things that wow us.

So... we took our kids outside and told them that we were going to worship by looking for things in creation that made us say "Wow!"

Our biggest "wow" was a grasshopper that traveled around with us for a good ten, fifteen minutes -- without being squashed no less.

One of the girls looked up at me mid-way through and asked, "This isn't really worship. Is it?"
"I don't know. Do you think the grasshopper is cool?"
"Yes."
"Did you tell God that?"
"Yes."
"Then it's worship."
