And On the Fifth Day, God Made the Itsy Bitsy Spider

Kids are great.  Yesterday morning at the Training Station, Ms. Grace led the first Bible Story time for the new school year.  A couple highlights:

Ms. Grace: Today I’m going to tell you the story about how God made the world.
Three-year-old boy: ‘Cause He’s magic!

Ms. Grace (near end of Bible Story time): Okay kids, we’re going to do one more song…
Four-year-old boy (doing motions with his hands): “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”?

The kids had fun, but I think the highlight for them was when the trash truck came by and they watched through the window as it emptied our dumpster.  They were pretty excited about that.

    I think kids, if you let them, really help us appreciate the simple things in life. I mean, honestly, who doesn’t like to see a trash truck empty a dumpster. We are normally just too busy or have forgotten how to enjoy things like that.

    Good point! Yeah, it is pretty cool.

    This morning some kids were on the playground blowing bubbles, then chasing and popping them. We should round up some adults to go do that.
