Quotes from the Classroom: #2

(this is a picture of a picture-sorry it's a little blurry. I still couldn't find my preschool pics :(, but could not bring myself to use stranger preschooler pic again-ha!)

Today's quote from the classroom took place during after school care. I was watching one of my sweet girls as she worked on a particularly complicated (for a four year old) craft project. I was impressed with her ability to accomplish the task that the other kids had needed help on. This little girl did not come from the best background, and I often feared that time and environment would take its toll on this child's potential and sweet disposition. It was with this in mind that I tried to encourage her every chance I got!

ME: "You know ~N~ you are so smart you could be anything when you grow up! A teacher or a doctor or....."

N:"or..or a BUTTERFLY!?!?!"

Oh, for this little girl who has all odds against her-that she could break out and be that butterfly that God would have her to be!!!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
"17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! "
