how'd I ever get so lucky.....


Mara did this really cool thing at school this last week and I wanted to share it with you all.


I met Mara at her school for lunch on Friday. After eating they have recess, so Ashlee and I went out with her to recess. The weather in Texas has been a roller coaster this winter. One day it is 85 degrees and literally the next day it is 45 degrees. That is what happened this day, the day before it was really warm, Friday it was freezing. I had watched the weather that morning, and knew it would be cold so I sent Mara with her heavy jacket and gloves. Well, many parents missed that the cold weather was coming so there were many kids out at recess that day without jackets. I had on a pretty warm jacket and gloves, and I was still pretty cold. As we were playing, Mara ran into one of her good friends, Hattie. Hattie just had on a sweat shirt and you could tell she was cold. Mara immediately took off her jacket and gloves and gave them to her friend and let her wear them the rest of recess. It brought tears to my eyes that she would be so caring. I am grateful I have this little girl in my life to teach me how to be like Jesus.
