Sorry this is late ladies, my husband was supposed to publish yesterday for me since he had my computer, but he forgot. I hope it brings a good laugh to your weekend. See you Monday.
Emily has started Kindergarten. She loves her teacher, and loves her school. Last week her assignment was to memorize a verse: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble” (Psalm 46:1)Â At first when we began working with her on it, she would get irritated and say she didn’t want to do it. Then she came home one day from school to inform me that we had to do something. “About what?” I asked. “My memory verse, mama, you are not going to believe this. We had a boys against girls competition today to see who knew their memory verse, and the boys won. We cain’t (southern for can’t 🙂 ) be havin’ that. AND they got the candy, uh- uh” I laughed, but by the end of the night, she knew it.
The next day I asked her if she could tell me what that verse meant, she said “I don’t know, I guess it means when you are in trouble, or sad, God gives you a present.” I rolled laughing for a minute before I went on to tell her what “present” meant in that context. Note to self, memorization does not necessarily mean understanding. Kid’s say the Darndest things!
