I admire the fact that you keep the kiddos in church.. yes for some the nursery is a good thing but for me it was the worst.. mine were horrible if I ever tried to keep them in church so one night my papa who was the pastor told me... just keep them out here... they do better and if they cry they wont bother me... it was a very large church so he had a point..
One night my youngest started to squall and I went to take her to the nursery.. got back and from the pulpit he said ummm go get that kid... my kids gonna know how to act in church and if she cries again she can come preach with me... I did.. he did... hold her while he preached that night and I guess she learnt a lesson lol.. she never cried in church again... I know thats not the case with all but I admire anyone who keeps them in church and lets them learn from even an earlier age!
I agree with you fully. It certainly isn't easy keeping them in check when they're small but it's good for them to know church is a special place, right from as far back as they can remember.
