School Happenings

Wyatt's first math test in 2nd grade..I was almost as impressed with his handwriting as I was with his grade!

Sadie has also had a few memorable things happen at school. She came home from school one day to tell me this story: "Mom, I told a girl in my class today that life isn't fair."

Me: "Oh really? Why did you tell her that?"

Sadie:"Well, she wanted to go next in line after another girl and she told the other girl that it wasn't fair, so I just told her that life's not fair."

Me: "What did she say?"

Sadie:"She just looked at me. I think she hadn't heard that before. But then I told her that she should be glad life isn't fair because if it was, Jesus wouldn't have died for our sins because he was perfect and didn't need to die. But he did. And our sins are forgiven because he did and so we should be glad that life isn't fair."

(The kids always hear me saying "Life isn't fair" and I had shared that story one day, clearly the Holy Spirit speaking and not me, with the kids because they kept asking why life wasn't fair and why can't it be fair...it was my attempt to show them that we shouldn't always be seeking what's 'fair' (thank goodness for Grace).

I smiled at Sadie and told her that was good that she said that, although I am quite sure it went right over the head of that little girl who just wanted a fair shot at her place in line!
