this made me laugh

hi friends,

I’m back in China and definitely back into the swing of school here. Promise more stories and reflections soon, but thought you might enjoy this story from the other week first….

This past week, I was teaching my kiddos about John Muir (a conservationist who lived in the 1800s). The curriculum provided a picture of John Muir (in which he was rather old and scary looking). 

Rather than shocking my kiddos by showing them the picture right away, I attempted to stir up a little excitement in them by “setting the stage” for the picture.

I told them I had a friend I wanted them to meet. 

"This friend lived a long, long time ago." I said. "And now, he's not alive. He's dead.”

Before I could say anything else, one of my sweet students’ eyes just lit up and with all sincerity shouted out: "Its JESUS!!"

Ummm, not quite, haha. :)

Needless to say, I discovered this particular day that our social studies curriculum might be a little lacking (since apparently the only old “dead” guy I talk about is J*sus. :)

happy tuesday, friends! hope you have a lovely time celebrating the life of our RISEN Savior today. :)

love these smiles. :)
