graduation
heehee... today when i was going to blog about my honeymoon, i realized that i had started this blog back in june but never publish it...
the kiddos had their long-anticipated preschool graduation on friday. We have been practicing the song Grow Me Up Like You , and a couple of them thought they might have stage fright, so we pray about it during class. At the end they all got really into it and did a fantastic job memorizing both verses and the hand motions.
the farmer planted his seeds
he put them in a row
but some fell on the rocky soil
they didn't want to grow
but soon the seeds they fell again
upon the fertile ground
the roots went deep from the care he gave
they bear fruit all around
grow me up like you
Lord in all i do
plant God's words within my heart (3x)
grow me up like you
the fruit of the spirit comes when we grow like him
love, peace and joy
and kindness never ends
i'll plant the seeds of love
so everyone can see
the Savior's love has come
to live in you and me
i get chocked up everytime i heard them sing the song because i often wonder how effective i'm at planting and watering the gospel in their hearts. all the academic stuff will continue to be a big part of their future education, but for some of these kids, they might not ever hear that there's a God that loves them and died for them again. But the good news is that God's plan isn't doom just because of my imperfection, so i'll just have to trust that He will make himself known to them.
