Open your mouth...

Don't bother even opening your mouth... close your mouth. That is the often commanded statement from mother at this age.
The Proverbial mother was able to catch herself and not just say shut up, as is oft the temptation. Do the right thing with your mouth. Talk about the people who cannot talk for themselves. We have had some fabulous teachers this year and other years who, through their behavior have taught just this ethic to the children. Trip to the the special olympics and training in how to handle conflicts have come up all too often in our hearing of the lessons of the day. The children are learning much of what we would have taught them and more because we live in the Bible belt. Godliness is allowed to shine in the classroom and it is obvious. God bless those teachers' who have devoted themselves to be what they are teaching. I am very grateful for every effort on my children's behalf! Especially living in a day where the scriptures and the commandments are at a minimum in public schools. God bless the children who have teachers who are not ashamed of the gospel. We are blessed.
