I just had to share a few things that happened this week with my childcare job. I have been working with kids that are going to soon be missionary kids. It has been an exhausting and rewarding week. Exhausting because they each have about 5 questions per minute, if not more, and they are 8-10 year olds, so they are naturally curious about the entire program, and want to know what we have planned for the day, like in the middle of Bible lesson! But God's teaching me to be patient and remember that I was just like that not too long ago. ;) Yet it is rewarding because those kids are very sweet. I've been hanging out with all age groups, and they are sooo great. For example, the boy on the right, Caleb, brought me like 2 flowers in the first day. And he loves giving out hugs like none other. My other kiddo, Cassie, is 10 and she is Caleb's sister.The other day it was raining and we had a somewhat gloomy, indoor day. WE were headed over to the house we teach them at, and she whispered to me, "I brought something that is perfect for rainy days...it's just for you and me, but I feel bad I didn't bring it for everyone. I just can't carry that many." So, when we arrived at the house, (a 15 minute walk), she pulled out two styrofoam cups, 6 packets of sugar, and two teabags. It was so sweet, the way she had thoughtfully known that I happened to be losing my voice from answering so many questions, reading them books and correcting their behavior. :) The cups were somewhat smashed, so we decided to use real mugs. And, she also happened to know that I LOVE sugar in my tea. Anyways, little moments like this make me love these kids no matter what.
