First Grade Retreat

"Love thy neighbor as I have loved you..."

We had an amazing first grade retreat today.  A huge thank you goes out to everyone that volunteered and gave their time so that this day could happen.  I had many kiddos come up to me and claiming this day as the best day in their lives... so sweet!  God is good and it was so beautiful to celebrate that today.  God truly does heal us and today I feel we were all healed in our own way...
