One great thing about working with little children is their excitement and sense of accomplishment when they do something that they know we as staff will be proud of. This post is to give you such an example.

Our Bible curriculum is a study on wisdom and foolishness. Recently, we discussed the difference between the prudent person and the foolish person. The verse of the week was Proverbs 14:15-A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. It was explained that a simple person does not usually think before he/she acts and will choose to listen to bad advice, while on the other hand, a prudent person does just the opposite. The next day, Saquan, one of our first graders, came walking through the door with a huge smile on his face. In his excitement he pulled Ms. Andrea aside and said, “Today I was prudent! I boy in my class tried to get me to throw rocks. I thought about it and realized it was wrong and told him I wasn’t going to do it.” THAT, my friends is why we do what we do each and every day. To know that God’s word is taking root in the hearts of some of the children is what brings us immense joy.

Just so you know, Saquan is a precious child who has done really well during his first year at DayBreak. He is a struggling reader who is very bright, but needs encouragement and motivation. If interested in tutoring him once a week or possibly even becoming his mentor, feel free to email kim.muccullough@mcleanbible.org.

How cute is he?!
