today was a hot day. so hot in fact that when i went to shower my shampoo and conditioner felt like they had just come out of the microwave. its amazing how much i have grown to appreciate cooler weather :) one of the things i have come to realize is how often many people, myself included, forget to find joy in the smallest things. since it was so hot, we decided to get out the little towels that you put in water and they grow for the kids. the look of pure bliss on their faces as they watched those expand was so sweet. it is such a good reminder to me that i need to have joy in the things that are small, and may seem unimportant. i was teaching the preschoolers simple english things like the ABC's, colors, rhymes, numbers etc and the look of accomplishment and pride on their little faces was priceless. they were so proud of themselves for learning to say simple english words! watching these kids worship the Creator of the Universe is a beautiful thing. they put their whole little hearts and souls into prayer. what an example such young lives can be. the passage talking about having faith like a little child has really come to life for me through these kids. its amazing what you can learn when you just open your eyes and look right in front of you.
