Jake learned to toss a Frisbee! He was fascinated with it taking flight and guiding it to Papa. Then he learned to catch it and it was even more fun!! They spent a long time in the backyard polishing up Jake's skill as a Frisbee thrower. (Although the next day, he couldn't remember 'Frisbee' and wanted to throw the 'Hockey Puck'!!)
Learning is a blessing we take for granted too many times. A friend of mine works as a special education teacher in the public school system. She has stories of the children she loves that warm and sometime break my heart. She has a range of kids from kindergarten to fifth grade. Some can talk, others can't. Some can sit in a chair, some have to be held down. Some color, some eat the crayons. Some draw, some scribble. Some play on the playground, some eat the rocks on the playground. She is diligent and loving in her teaching and guiding even when she comes out with cuts, scrapes, and bruises from the very children she loves and teaches. Her joy in her teaching shines with the light that only Jesus could give her!
So, Vicki, you are my blessing today. I tried to get a picture of you, but my phone didn't get your 'best' side. I will have to bring my big camera to capture such a huge personality! I love you, dear. Thank you for showing me the Spirit in all you do!
Ephesians 5:1-2 (New International Version)
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
