Three Callings

September 05th, 2023 by G.

Three Saints met.

I am the Prophet, said the first. I give guidance from God.

I am the Bishop, said the second. I am a Judge in Israel and a minister to His flock.

I am just the Nursery Leader, said the third. The Nursery Leader looked downcast.

The Bishop tried to offer some kind of reassurance but the Prophet hushed him.

All I do is . . . the Nursery Leader went on . . . All I do is . . . is personally hold and sing with and teach literal children of God at their earliest and most impressionable stages.

The Nursery Leader brightened.

The Nursery Leader then added, “and I wouldn’t be able to do any of it if it weren’t for the guidance from the Prophet and the calling from the Bishop!”

They all three were very happy together.

My brother was a Nursery Leader for the first 9 months of his marriage.
“It’s the best!” he said enthusiastically when asked. “I get to teach about Jesus and eat snacks and race cars in church for a whole hour!”
Verily, my brother is a child at heart. And he really loves food and playtime, but especially he loves his Savior.

I have been NL twice. Time 2 was OK. Time 1 was the best calling I have ever had.
