Loving Others

As any parent knows, there are times when children can be really exasperating.  But there are also some really sweet times that make you feel like you're doing your job right.  I had one of those with Lily last night.  Her school is going through the End of Grade tests (EOG for short).  Students must pass these to advance to the next grade.  I think they start in 3rd grade, but I'm not sure about that.  It's a big deal for the whole school because their special each day (PE, Art, Music, or Library) was canceled because of the EOGs.

Every night we pray before Lily goes to bed.  Last night she prayed specifically for the students at Northwoods and especially for those who were taking their EOGs.  That was completely unprompted, but very thoughtful.  It was great to see her "get it" at that moment.
