Minutes to Memories

For some reason, Ocean Springs schools arranged their calendar this year where the kids (and more so, teachers!) enjoy a full week's vacation for Thanksgiving. The major problem with this great idea, of course, is with the mommas and daddies who don't get a full week's vacation for Thanksgiving. What to do with those kiddos?

Three of our great young moms here - Samantha, Hollie, and Lindsey - came up with a great idea for today, and as I type, a load full of kids are enjoying pizza, popcorn, and a movie here at our church's building.

Of course, now that I think of it, Samantha substitute teaches, Hollie teaches elementary school, and Lindsey is studying to teach elementary school - so this isn't much of a break for them. But they have a heart for kids it seems, and it is inspiring to see them spend quality time with all these important kids during their vacation.
