Goodbye Missions Hour kids

A position that I've served for 4 years.
Now, I have to go because I am moving to a new church.
Wayne explained to the kids that we are leaving because of God's calling.

the kids were stunned.
the younger ones showed us a "what's happening" face.
the older ones started to miss us, hugged us, and asked us to come back for visit.
perhaps, all they can understand is, mandy and wayne are leaving us!

Karen prayed for us to "send us out".
She have the kids "touch" us to pray.
meaning a connection.
there were too many girls and i had to stretch out my hands for more girls.
they held my hands like they used to be.
they bounced up and down on me like they used to be.
they pulled my arm as hard as they could, like they used to be.

my tears dropped during the prayer.
watching the older ones, who used to be the little ones, can now take care of the younger ones
those who used to sit in me
those who used to hold my hands
those who needed my company all the time
those who needed me to carry them
