Charlotte's Web and Miracles


This week we spoke in class about the novel Charlotte’s Web and about how the farmer thought that the words written on the web were a miracle sent from God. I asked the students if they had ever seen a miracle or what they thought a miracle was. One little boy raised his hand and gave a response, which blessed my heart to no end. “First,” he started, “it began 2007 years ago when a baby was born in a manger. This little boy grew up and did miracles. He healed the sick and even raised the dead. When a little boy brought 5 loaves and fishes this man fed 5000 with it” (his words paraphrased but very close).

I just stood amazed, soaking up every word from this 10-year old boy as he spoke about the life of Jesus. Wow! Children truly are for signs and wonders, and I am so grateful to God for allowing to play a role in His working.

Very Cool Amy! Don't you love that when you see God in School. Sometimes it seems like such a busy place that is so godless, but then there is a glimps of God! Praise the Lord! May the words of that boy go deep into hearts of the kids in your class! And may the seed that was planted bring forth fruit. Much love Denise
