So my how our lives have changed. When I was in 3rd grade at South City View Elementary in Kansas City, our class sang "This is my Fathers world" at the PTA meeting. At the public school, we sang a Christian song.!!!
The Principal also smacked me several times with a paddle board with holes in it. The teachers would grab my crew cut and shake my head to get my attention.
My best memory of grade school was that I got my first kiss from Sue Ellen Butler. 3rd grade, South City View, out on the playground during recess. Whoop whoop!!!
It was a different time.
Today I don't think that Principals get to spank kids. I know that teachers don't get to shake a kids head by his hair. I doubt that Christian hymns are sung for PTA meetings. But I hope that third grade girls are still kissing third grade boys.
We all struggle with this life. So many things to face, so much difficulty. And with all of the changes, and all of the stress that we all feel from time to time, this is still my Father's, our Father's world.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
