Count Your Blessings


Count Your Blessings


On this Sunday, a few weeks before Thanksgiving, it seemed only right that we spent a lot of time counting in our Sunday School class today. We counted: people in our friendship chain, people in our poster, the number of balls friends helped each other balance and carry, the “gifts” we gave each other in gift bags and the friends in our class.


Looking back on it, I’m also counting the hugs received and given in class: Madeleine’s hug that always warms my heart, Jonathon’s and Dodge’s hugs as they proclaimed in unison "we're best friends" and even the hugs Daffodil the puppet received from her preschool fans. So maybe our Bible verse "A friend loves at all times" could be paraphrased this way for preschoolers: "A friend hugs at all times."

Probably this was in the days that Buddy and Scruffy were still hugging each other before the fallout. Sad.
