Today, I was helping in the preschool class (like, every day), and the teacher (Sriung) was explaining to the kids about Holy Ghost descending upon Jesus like a dove. Then some arts and crafts supplies were brought out and the class got to color, and cut out, and put together their very own HOLY GHOST!!! Actually, it was a pigeon or something, but the Spiritual significance is more than obvious!
My job was to help the kids glue the tail and wings onto the body. I was engulfed by a multitude of whining kids when I head one of them crying uncontrollably. It was Contea (or Googles). She had been struggling to find an efficient way to use her scissors, when her classmate volunteered to help her. Contea was holding the paper while he used the scissors, and............SLICE! He hacked one of her fingers!! Poor Contea was bleeding and crying. Sriung took her to the office to get some first aid treatment and she returned a short while later with a new bandaid on her finger. In all the confusion, her Holy Ghost bird disappeared, forever.
The recess bell rang and I volunteered to make Contea a new bird, so Sriung got me the supplies and Contea picked out colors for me to use on the new bird. She sacrificed her recess to help me construct a new bird. Jenny landed and captured the moment on film.
Contea, is the best preschooler in the world. I will definitely miss her when Jenny & I cruise to Sihanoukville next week.
Revelation 21:4 And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death; there shall be no more mourning, or crying or pain; for the first things have passed away.
