Interesting day yesterday. I was on the playground with my class, and A’s class came out during that time too. She was off to play with her friends after coming to get a “kissy” and explaining to me that after she ate lunch, it would be time for me to come pick her up and go in the car. ;o) Anyway…she was playing with one little girl in particular who happens to be the child of another teacher here at our school. They were so cute running around and I was enjoying the scene. They are both about the same height and same build, which threw me into a moment of Dawning…For the last two years, I have taught 2nd grade, and so was on the same hall as this teacher. In the afternoons her little one would come to school and hang out with her while she finished grading and whatnot. During that time I just fell in love with her and loved to see her running down the hallway and her brothers not too far behind. She came to be called the hall mascot. There were times I would look at her and wonder how old our little one would be, would she be this size, would she be as giggly as her, as full of personality…and well you get the picture…I was in a sense dreaming of my child through this little one…and as the Lord would orchestrate it…our little one was right on target with this little one here at home that I was watching…only the Lord could prepare our hearts so perfectly…

In His Watchcare,

Joy
