little red schoolhouse

A couple of weeks ago,

Jake and his fourth grade class

 took a field trip to a little red school house 

that had been restored 

somewhere down there in Florida 

where they live. 

Most everyone dressed in period costumes.

This picture is a little blurry,

but Jake is on the back row to the left.

That's his teacher with the long blonde hair.

From what I  heard,

everyone had a great time

learning

how school used to be done!

Notice the old timey desks,

wooden floors,

and the big smile on Jake.

I love Him!!!!

So, speaking of school...

I used to teach third grade.

In my very first class,

I had a student that was a standout.

He was adorably cute,

well-behaved,

responsible,

and much smarter than I would ever be...

even then.

Not surprisingly,

He is now my doctor.

Well, I went to see him today.

He grabbed me up in a great big hug

 and couldn't get over how I looked just the same as I did way back then.

Oh,

did I mention,

he was charming too?

I love this little boy who became my doctor.

How thankful I am for the privilege

 to shape his mind just a little bit.

God gives great gifts to His children!

Of that I am sure!
