The other day, Chantel came home from school; she was sad about her friend, Emily. She told me that Emily was praying at lunch and another student made fun of her.
Chantel's response, was something like, "She's allowed to pray and thank God for the food. He made the bread and things we eat anyway."
She also said that, "The student who said what he did to Emily wasn't just making fun of her, he was making fun of God."
Wow, Chantel really does get it! Her report card and comments seem to reflect it in the O's for behavior, following school rules and treatment of others! That's what is really important in life!

Easter, Eggs, and Friends
This is an old picture, since I didn't feel up to taking any yet this year, having too much fun enjoying the moments. Making paper lilies, with Chantel's handprints, helping Chantel make hand-made cards for friends and family. Dyeing eggs and licking beaters after making a cheese pie. Reading an Easter Story together with Chantel and talking about the meaning of Easter. Listening to Chantel pray "Thanking Jesus for dying on the cross for all of us (She's already accepted Him at 4 1/2), asking Jesus angels to protect her surrounding her room and our house, asking for good weather for Easter, praying for her friends from school to learn about Jesus at the Church egg hunt."
That is Easter for us this year. Chantel had lots of fun and Easter is still tomorrow! She invited a friend from school, to our church Easter (egg hunt, singing and craft time.) She and her friends had a wonderful time and I was able to talk to her friend's mom and dad, all the while!
