>> What It Means to Be Adopted...
>>
>> Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a

>> The little girl stayed silent.
>> Next, the doctor took a tongue depressor and looked down her throat.
>> He asked, "Do you think I'll find the Cookie Monster down there?"
>> Again, the little girl was silent. Then the doctor put a stethoscope

>> think I'll hear Barney in there?"
>> "Oh, no!" the little girl replied. "Jesus is in my heart. Barney's on

>> Discouraged?
>>
>> As I was driving home from work one day, I stopped to watch a local
>> Little League baseball game that was being played in a park near my

>> one of the boys what the score was.
>> "We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.
>> "Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very discouraged."
>> "Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Why
>> should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet."
>>
>>
>> Roles And How We Play Them...

>> Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in my life, I stop and think

>> to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. "Guess what Mom," he
>> shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me:
>> "I've been chosen to clap and cheer."

>> A Lesson In Heart
>>
>> A lesson in "heart" is my little, 10 year old daughter, Sarah, who

>> time. She came home one beautiful spring day to tell me she had

>> other competitive events. Because of her leg support, my mind raced as
>> I tried to think of encouragement for my Sarah, things I could say to
>> her about not letting this get her down - but before I could get a
>> word out, she said, "Daddy, I won two of the races!"
>> I couldn't believe it!
>> And then Sarah said, "I had an advantage."
>> Ah. I knew it. I thought she must have been given a head start...some
>> kind of physical advantage.
>> But again, before I could say anything, she said, "Daddy, I didn't
>> get a head start... My advantage was I had to try harder!"
>>
>>
>> Shoes From God
>>
>> A little boy about 10 years old was standing before a shoe store on
>> the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
>> with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why
>> are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
>> "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boys reply.
>> The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and asked the
>> clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked
>> if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought
>> them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store
>> and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and
>> dried them with a towel.
>> By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair
>> upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. She tied up
>> the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on
>> the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more
>> comfortable now?" As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her
>> by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears his eyes, answered
>> the question with these words: "Are you God's Wife?"
