school and life...

Oh that every child could afford to go to school, to have paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, tape, and dreams.

A clean piece of paper, for me, is like jewelry or chocolate. And behind every pencil that actually sharpens without disappearing is a giant smile with ideas!

And 3" by 5" cards...well...life is good and just gets better!

  Our church has helped many children attend school with their needed supplies, and also with the water lines to some of the schools that did not have water before.

Children everywhere have the gift of wonder.  That creativity blooms in the soil of encouragement and in the light of love once basic needs are met.

Water, light, paper, tape or glue (when I was young, my mother made our paste from flour and water...I tried it again last week for a young woman project...still works!), pencils, crayons, and dreams...such blessings...because today unfolds the future.

For all of us.
