how did he know?

"We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;  perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5

First Graders' Dr. Seuss Day last week did not disappoint.  From the parade to their artwork and costumes and JOYous celebration, we were reminded to laugh and be loving towards all.  Thank you. first graders and all your helpers.   I loved every Thing 1 and 2 and zillion reminders you shared.

Oh, Dr. Seuss, how did you know?
the many injustices the earth would unfold.

Thanks for your colorful, zany characters a-plenty,
a dose of truth from them have taught many.

Be kind to others, do as i say,
love one another, and forgive each day.

Being right in life shouldn't be our goal,
but a right relationship with others is worthy to hold.

And thank you also for encouraging and letting me know,
being different is okay, God has great plans for all in His show!

Hardships, questions and trials are a part of our life,
but if we follow the right One we will have more peace than strife.    

So, with your whimsical flair and delightful storytelling, we celebrate you, Dr. Seuss... and oh, the places we'll go...
because reading and believing God allows freedom, grace and love to grow.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
