A Heart of Service

This lovely granddaughter called me late Thursday night

Kind of in a time crunch

She had a deadline for a school assignment

By Tuesday morning she needed to have completed 4 hours of community service

She wondered if she could come do some service at my school

Certainly.......I'm sure I can generate a list of helpful tasks

if you can get to my school Friday afternoon

and stay late

I interviewed several teachers early in the day on Friday

By the time m'lovely girl arrived

they had supplied me with a fine To Do list

Slicing Memory Game cards

Bagging math money games for at home practice

Stapling kindergarten homework packets

Tidying stacks of papers

Dusting  and washing shelves and counters

Organizing books....the biggest book stash Taylee had ever seen in one school room, she said

Measuring

More slicing

216 chunks of sliced paper

ready for little kiddles

to cut and glue flower shapes

Sorting math manipulative pieces that had migrated out of their bins

It was 7:30 and we ran out of time before we got to the tasks in the library

I was worn out

but Taylee seemed to still be going strong

And then we got to see that splendid rainbow on our way to dinner at Subway

Such an awe-filled finale for our girls' night

Thanks for the fun time, lovely young woman

So glad you are willing to make the world a better place

Don't you love it when you glimpse the kindness of our youth!

What kind action of kids have you noticed lately?
