Cure for Boredom

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." ~ Dorothy Parker

I have found this to be true in my line of work. You can never truly be bored around a preschooler. We have one three year old who is constantly asking "What's That?", and every morning and afternoon the kids are on pins and needles wondering what we will be doing for circle time. They always wonder what is next? To them life is one big adventure. As adults we wonder too, we just tend to turn wonder into worry.
Matthew 6:34
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself..."
I want to live life like a preschooler this week. Living in the wonder of the moment without the worry of next moment. Embracing the adventure God has given me, it truly is a gift.
Matthew 6:27
"Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

Rainbow Prayers

I just opened an email from one of the parents in our school and I had to pass it on.
"I found Leo in his room on top of his toy box looking out the window on this rainy afternoon. He told me I was interrupting his prayin'. I said, What are you praying for? He said, I'm praying to God that He will bring a rainbow to Miss Gough because she was looking for one. What a sweet moment."
Last week we talked about walking like Noah Genesis 6:8 "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and I told them to be sure to look for a rainbow in the sky and to remember God's promise to them. Genesis 9:13 "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
Have a wonderful, wet week and let's come to God with the faith of a child just like Leo.

Last week in Bible we talked about walking like Noah from the Bible and how he stood alone in the midst of ridicule and built that giant ark. Wow, I think to myself could I have done that? I have my doubts but to make a lasting impact on the future we have to get up off our butts and take a risk. Stand out and sometimes alone in a crowd. If you are headed in the direction that God has told you to go eventually you'll have followers to get on your ark. So get out there this week and make a difference in your corner of the world it all starts with just one Noah doing the right thing. Now this quote was in a book that I read to a group of preschoolers and kindergarteners Just Kids by Bonnie Louise Kuchler. It has pictures and information about all kinds of animals and an inspirational quote or funny saying with each one. The kids made sure to correct the quote and insert bottom for butt. Somehow it didn't pack quite the same punch.
