My Day

Many of you spent the day sending kids off to school, or at work, or meetings, or maybe braving the bitter cold…

Here is how I spent my day:

I was able to chaperone Grade 6 on their beach trip.  In November each kid in the class wrote their own novel for NaNoWriMo.  The beach trip was in celebration of everyone meeting their goal.  It was awesome!  The weather was beautiful-the boat ride out was spectacular, (except for when Anne's shoe fell through a hole in the boat and we had to turn around and get it). Haha.  On the way there the van's spare tire fell off and then a piece of metal was hanging off the back and had to be tied up to keep from dragging.  Always an adventure!  I felt so blessed to be a part of today.  Most of the kids went snorkeling and we saw such a rainbow of colors under the water with all the fish and coral.  Breathtaking!  

One of the teachers was talking to the kids about a spot on her hand where she had some sand.  The kids were guessing there may have been 100,000 grains of sand in that little spot.  In the Bible in Psalms 139 it says that God's thoughts about us are more numerous than the grains of sand.  That is a LOT of thoughts about little 'ole me, and you!  Pretty cool, huh?

Here are a few pictures:
