We Did It!

I am so thankful to those of you who lifted our class up in prayer today. As the day came to a close, we gathered as a class to thank God for ordering our day in such a way that we were able to get work done and still have time to play. We hope that next week we will have Mrs. Sandy back and healthy. Continue to pray for her recovery and a return of physical energy.

We had a visitor in our class today. The pastor of North Macon Presbyterian and the father of our very own Stone, Hunter Stevenson, stopped in to play a round of "seven up". The children were thrilled for the addition to our game. If you would like to drop by our class for lunch, recess, to read a book, or play a game we would be glad to have you. The children enjoy introducing their parents to their friends.

I have to share the sweetness of your children's hearts. Today during our history review time, I asked who would want to be a monk. The majority of the children's hands went up. I was surprised and intrigued. I asked them to share their reasoning, and here are a few of their answers:

"Because they get to go to church eight times a day and worship God."

"They get to feed the poor and hungry before they feed themselves."

"They get to build tables."

"They spend lots of time in prayer."

These answers are a testimony to the intentional way that you teach your children about Christ and his church. It completely melted my heart and I am sure it will melt yours!

You may have heard we had a bit of excitement today. One of the children was stung by a wasp during recess. We were able to treat the sting quickly and everything turned out fine. I want to assure you that North Macon Preschool staff sprayed the nests immediately, so we should not have this problem again.

I want to encourage each of you to write your child's name inside and outside of their books. When class gets underway it is very easy to pick up the wrong book. This will help everyone get home with all of their belongings.

Have a wonderful week!
