Christmas break, but it was my
Turn to help with child care.
I'll be honest.
I wasn't eager to miss the study.
But I had just one small boy to tend to,
And a fun fact was that I had been his
Mother's teacher when she was four.
As I played with the little guy downstairs, I
Dusted off my preschool and grandma skills that
Had lain dormant for years.
We sorted cars according to colors.
We stacked dominoes in a tower until
They toppled.
We took turns hiding a toy for the
Other to find.
We even played a simplified version of
Ping pong.
I was moving constantly, getting a
Great work out.
The two hours transpired quickly.
I must admit, it was fun.
My time spent with a delightful child
Was as worthwhile as fellowshipping with
My Bible study friends,
This once.
