Overhead today by two of my third grade students at the lunch table:
Student 1: I'm giving up chocolate milk, cupcakes and biting my nails. What are you giving up?
Student 2: Giving up? For what?
Student 1: For Lent.
Student 2: What's Lent?
Student 1: You know what God did for us, right?
Student 2: Yes.
Student 1: You know He gave up His son and let him die for us. Well, this way, during Lent, we can give up something for Him. Even though His was bigger.
I love how children can say a whole lot with simple words and to the point!!

Oh I love it! Out of the mouths of babes, right?
I also LOVE your blog background now. I may have to check out the site. I am completely bored with mine...want something softer with a vintage feel.
