2nd graders + obedient teacher + Deck 7 + patients = beautiful

this post is copied and pasted from Miss Moriah's Blog (Caroline's teacher)...we are so grateful for all of the ways she invests in our children - and the way she allows them to invest in others.  Hope you enjoy this sweet little poem and lovely pictures (and, more importantly, we hope you enjoy reading about some students' requests and their teacher's obedience)

What happens when 2nd graders and a hospital collide… 

“Miss Moriah!” they begged

“Miss Moriah!” they pleaded

“Can we PUH-LEESE play with patients?”

And then they proceeded…

 “It would be quite fun!”

“It would make our hearts happy!”

“Let’s play in the sun!”

“It would make us less snappy!”

 I still wasn’t sure.

I still had some worries.

Are 2^nd graders mature?

Would they want to get out of there in a hurry?

 What would they do?

What would they say?

Do I send them out two by two?

Do I trust they won’t stray?

 And then a small thought grew.

God convicted my heart.

These 2^nd graders have a role on this ship too!

Let them play their irreplaceable part! 

So the day finally came.

The children were all very excited.

They learned each patient’s name.

Everyone was delighted.

 They colored pictures and read stories.

They played games and pulled wagons.

Of course God got all the glory

For what happens when He makes me listen to my students’ passions.

 …take a look for yourself!

Surely there will be more to come!
