Rain and Kids

     Today is the 64th day of school and my class is scheduled to go out on an outdoor trip.We are"Visiting a Friend's Garden." It was a gloomy morning but not my spirit. I knew it was going to be just another test of "emotions". Kids all came in with their red shirts. They were all happy and excited. While they were signing-in their names, I was already quietly saying my prayers, "God, come on, stop the rain, stop the rain." I tried to entertain myself and helped the kid's solve some puzzles. It was 8:30 and that was the time we were scheduled to leave. I called the kids and gathered them for our final instructions. I asked them if they were still interested to go to William's house since the rain has not stopped yet. And the answer was a big and loud Yes!. "Are you letting the rain stop you?" Nooooooo!  Working with kids had never been easy but it had always been marvelous. Kids, they don't let anything stop them from having fun. Anything is possible, not only when Mr. Sun is out but even when it rains. Anything is more than possible when it rains! I told them the rain was going to stop. I was not that convinced when I said but we continued the trip anyway. The kids believed what I said. There was rain, heavy rain, then light rain, some drizzles and until there was no more. Our garden activity was still a bang! Kids planted beautiful flowering plants. William's garden was a perfect spot to take pictures. The pool was so tempting but the toy water guns sufficed and quenched their desires of getting wet. Everyone was there to help and enjoy. The gardeners, helpers, parents, guardians, teachers and our Mom and Dad for the day! It was still a wonderful Friday!Thank you Papa God!
