The grass is as green as evergreens.

It is ever so green.

So green that it fills me with joy to see all the green.

The grass is popping with green.

The leaves are bursting with green.

Green!

I love animals,

Especially dolphins, horses, cats, and dogs.

I just love all animals.

I love nature.

I love my friends.

I love my family.

But what I love the most is God

Because He made everything I love.

I love petting and holding baby goats.  The goats are really soft and the baby goats are friendly.  Milking goats is harder than milking cows, but it is still fun.  Every spring you can save your goat’s wool, but if you want to make thread, you have to comb it.  Then you pick it so it makes good thread.

You should go see the Coleman’s goats.

***Mittens the Kitten

(a peacemaking play created for our chapel)

(Chairs moved to make cat cage.)

Scene one:

Molly:  Let’s get the big cat.

Jonathan:  First, we have to get the stuff for the kitten, and then we can bring it home.

Mittens:  Mowwwwww!

Molly:  Let’s just get that kitten instead.

 

Scene two:  At the Pet Store

Molly:  We need cat food, a cat bowl, and a harness and leash.

Jonathan:  Don’t you think that is too much to give?

Molly:  And one more thing, a sweater!

 

Scene three:  Get in a Fight

Jonathan:  I think that is too much to get, and most of the stuff that you got was what YOU wanted.  If I don’t get what I want to get for the kitten, then I’m not getting the kitten and we BOTH don’t get it!

 

Scene four:

Molly:  I’m sorry I was hogging all the stuff.

Jonathan:  I’m sorry I said mean things to you.

Molly:  I have a great idea!  Maybe I could get something and you could get something for the kitten.

Jonathan:  Okay.  Let’s get the stuff AND the kitten.

 

All:  Ephesians 4:29  “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

I am the blacksmith.  The fire needs to be really, really hot to heat the metal.  You need something to heat the iron, something to pound the iron, and something to work the iron on.  There are techniques to make the thing you are banging thinner.

 

Look who has conquered the Forty Book Challenge!
