Learning about Serving

Our Q-Group, which is our small group at church, recently did a small service project.  We all made some type of goodies and delivered them to a firestation near our church.  This was the first service project that Wiley has really been a part of so I wanted him to help me make the cookies that we gave to the firemen.  As we made the cookies, we talked about doing nice things for others, we talked about what firemen do to help keep us safe and we talked about how God likes us to do nice things and serve those around us.  It was a really fun project and I loved that it gave me an oppourtunity to talk to Wiley about service.  The firemen were also really great to the kids and we got a tour of the fire station after we gave them their goodies!

Wiley was the last kid out because he kept letting all the other kids out before him.  I would like to say that he was just being nice, but he really just didn't want to get out!
