Today we had some special friends visit our class. My special helper came during the early part of the day to see the boys and girls. Marshall was all dressed up for a fun day of Red Ribbon week. (Middle school features special dress up days to help motivate the children to "just say no.") He really isn't an "army man" but this point was lost to the children. (I also did not even begin to address "Red Ribbon Week" because our lives are good and we don't have to make them sad by talking about drugs & alcohol.)
The end of the day was crazy with excitement as former students visited with us. One of our friends even came to read us two books. (Yes all by himself.) He is in Kindergarten but is already an excellent reader. He came to share his love of reading and show the children that they will be readers very soon. We also had other students stop in to say "HI." It is so much fun to see how much everyone has grown. I LOVE seeing everyone. It makes me so happy to see everyone continuing to grow in God's love - even if we aren't here sharing it with them. We always keep our friends in our prayers. (Okay - one of us isn't a former student - he is a brother - but isn't he adorable?)
