It’s amazing how the memories from our childhood can shape the course of our lives. I still remember being picked up, along with my cousins, by a kind woman named Ms. Hughes. She would load us into her station wagon every Sunday morning and take us to Sunday School. Before then, I had never attended. Because of her dedication to the Lord, she saw the value in planting seeds of faith in young hearts—mine included.

I grew to love my Sunday School teacher, Ms. Jamison, and the lessons she shared with us. To this day, I can still recite the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments she made sure we memorized. I even remember her teaching us the song “Deep and Wide.”

Recently, I had the chance to return to my home church. As I shared a few remarks, I was able to express how the people there laid the spiritual foundation of my walk with Christ. I stand today on their shoulders, deeply grateful for their obedience to the call.

Sometimes we don’t see the fruit of our labor right away. But like Moses preparing the way for Joshua, we too are called to lay a foundation for others to grow in the Lord.
