At recess yesterday, all the Class 2 and 3 were playing futbol. James, Class 3, was goalie, and a very zealous Moses bulldozed him to get the ball through. James fell and cried. We picked him up and dusted him off. I told him that was what the goalie was for! Good job!
And then.
Then, Andrew, a fellow Class 3 kid, put both is hands on James's face, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, "Stop a minute, and let me dry your tears," as he wiped them away with his thumbs. In seconds, James was in the game again.
Just thought you would like to know that we teach some of the sweetest kids on earth.
Oh goodness me. How completely beautiful! Xxx
ReplyDeleteThat scene illustrates any number of precious Bible teachings. We've all been James at one time or another and God has brought someone into our lives to wipe away the tears. On the other hand, may we each be sensitive to when we need to let God use us to be Andrews, to wipe away others' tears!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that dear story.
