Memory

I was looking at pics and came across Cole's graduation ceremony for Montessori at Riverton. It was pretty amazing. The kids had memorized parts to a program written for the fourth grade level. These kids are three to five years old! Cole memorized, "And speaking of peace and love, have you looked at the newspaper lately? There's a lot of poverty, hunger and crime out there. I wish more people would care about one another, be givers not takers. Let's sing a song about how it should be. This is what our program is all about." We practiced for WEEKS. He was very good at it. The day of the program he practiced a bunch and was all ready to go. At his turn though, he kind of shuffled up to the microphone very sheepishly. I could tell something was up, this wasn't him trying to be funny....he could remember his part....to our church talk! As he walked all he could think of was "Hi! My name is Cole Pearce and I'm five years old. I am grateful for Jesus Christ because he sacrificed for us, I can repent when I do wrong." Wouldn't that have been funny?!
