Shining Her Light

It is our prayer for Sofia and the words that daddy says to her most mornings before she heads off to school, "Shine for Jesus!".

A couple of weeks ago Sofia shared with us that something special had happened at school that day.  She shared that some of the lunch teachers noticed that she enjoyed helping Vanessa, a special ed student, on the playground.  The teachers asked Sofia if she would think about eating lunch at Vanessa's class table everyday because Vanessa was the only girl out of 10 students.  Sofia didn't even have to think about it.  She   answered the teachers right there and said she was willing.

We as parents are so proud and thankful for her heart.  It didn't surprise us when she shared this development because last year she had volunteered to be the helper for Yvonne (a little girl in special ed) in gym last year.

Sofia's willingness to help someone who may not think, act or look like all the other students is definitely a way she is shining her light for Jesus.
