Earth Day and a Thought

It seems like Earth Day was a week ago! That goes to show what kind of a day I've had!

Yesterday was TOO much fun in 2nd grade! 

Thanks to Ms. Conley for sharing fun ideas! 

 

Our class made a fun door decoration.

We also signed pledges to help the Earth!

 We also did a few more activities like describing our crazy tree with all of our new adjectives we've been learning about, seeing how many words we could spell using only the letters in PLANET EARTH, and making our "Give the Earth a Five" posters where we wrote 5 ways we could help the planet on a tracing of our hands! 

This is a prime reason why you should try to work with your best friend.

Yes, we were a tree and a tree hugger. :)

Like I said, we have TOO much fun in second grade. Morgan is IN THE ZONE with 2nd graders and her enthusiasm is contagious! 

Like I also said, it's been a LONG day. 

My thought for the evening is this. People will let you down, disappoint you, and hurt you. People who you hold to high standards will fail you, but God NEVER will. As I sat in my room steaming, trying to sleep off my migraine I thought about this: I have let God down and failed Him over, and over, and over yet He is the most faithful friend I'll ever know. I know how I'm feeling this evening being let down by people who are just mere acquaintances, yet I am His child and disappoint Him on a regular basis... I can't imagine how He feels. I guess I'm just overwhelmed by God's friendship this evening and thankful that when He looks at me He doesn't see my mistakes or sins, but instead He sees the blood of His son. I'll never be worthy of His mercy.
