"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Second Graders Speak.....

I heard and saw GOD tonight through the second grade classes at YISS (Yongsan International School of Seoul).

They did a play called "Psalty's Camping Adventure: Count It All With Joy!" They were going on a camping trip and hiking up a mountain..............they sang many songs about GOD. It touched my heart in many ways.

Comments, like hearing complaints about the hike up the mountain, eating 'GRAP' (for those of you who don't know it means: granola, raisins, and peanuts), and the best one, Fresh Air, made me think about memories from times I have gone backpacking, camping, and hiking in the mountains of the place I call home.

It also made me look ahead to my return home and hopefully some opportunities this summer to do these things..........but, mainly looking forward to being home and fresh air.

It also had me reflect on my time here.........consider the idea of climbing mountains in our walk as a phrase to talk about the challenges we face in our journey. As well as, considering mountain top experiences....

Basically, I was reminded of the past, was reflecting on the present, and was looking ahead to tomorrow with Hope and excitement in returning home. And GOD used 2nd Graders to reveal HIMself in my Heart in these ways tonight.

Praise the Lord!..................................Psalm 106:1
