My Chapel
Last Friday, I did my final chapel of the school year. I had decided to do it even though Shea was at Science Camp and would not be there to hear it. I figure she hears me blab all the time...so it was fair to share my gift of gab with all the other kids! We have such great kids at school and it is such a joy to see them grow and become such sweet people. I spoke to them about "worth & value" and asked them right off if they were at a garage sale, what would there price be if they were for sale? It's so cute to hear the different comments but my whole lesson to them was to understand that what something costs does not determine what its worth or value is. I took all my favorite things in...cotton candy, a favorite photo in a frame of Shea & I, Louis Vuitton purse, maraschino cherries, my favorite perfume (Dolce & Gabana), a bunch of daisies, and Shea's lavender blanket that I just finished. I also spoke about my Nana and shared a small blanket that she had crocheted before she passed away. It was made of all her left over scrap pieces of yarn- it's still beautiful! I also took in a baby sweater that she made for me when I was a baby girl. I told of the Harley-Davidson story (ask me and I will share it with you- it's really cool!) which the kids just loved. I was a bit worried to "lose" some of them but they were all so interested and were so good the whole time I spoke! At the end, I explained to them about the gift of Jesus dying on the cross for us and that God would have had Jesus do it for just one of us. That's how much God loves us and that's how much we are worth to Him. I also pointed out that there was no amount of money that could "pay" for them- that they are worth far more than any amount of money in the world! I gave each student a sticker that I made up and told them that it could be their "price tag" if they were at a garage sale. It had a little lamb on it and it read:
1st Corinthians 6:20
For you were bought at a price;
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Oringinally, I wasn't going to write about my chapel but last night I went to dinner with some friends and Cathy (our computer teacher and Shea's Kindergarten teacher) mentioned that one of the students came up to her and said that my chapel was so great! She also said that the kids were talking amongst themselves and saying that they all love when "Miss Adrienne" does chapel- that it's so much fun and they learn so much! Geez- What do you know about that? I guess it really is true that God works in mysterious ways!
