Well, Lord, here we are, the end of term, the end of peace and quiet for another two weeks. But, on the up side, it is another two weeks of no lunch making, no worrying about what crimes against humanity Nathan might be perpetrating at kindy, and no fixed agenda. It is definitely true I think, that every cloud has a silver lining.
I must say I am pleased it is school holidays in another respect as it will give Emily a break away from all those catty girls in her class, and give her a chance to maybe sort some things out in her head about her friendships. I gather there was a bit of trouble yesterday between Emily and Madison and some of those other girls – all the same stuff with Madison being teased essentially for being poor and Emily not quite sure what side of the fence to station herself on. Of course Miss Hollis (Educational Goddess) smoothed things over and made everything all right for everyone. Methinks Miss Hollis (Educational Goddess) might be a bit delusional.
So, Lord, I pray that over the holidays I might have a chance to spend some time talking with Emily about some ways she might be better able to manage her friendships. At this point I have to confess I don’t actually know what those ways are so I’ll be relying on you to fill in the gaps.
Maybe our Bible Study group will provide some helpful tips (although we won’t meet now until after the holidays.) We started our first proper study yesterday, all expertly prepared by Libby, where we looked and talked about our desire to learn as mothers. I must say it was refreshing to hear some of the comments the other women made about sometimes feeling equally inadequate as I do as a mother but equally keen to do a good job as well.
Caroline was a no-show. She and Linley and I are supposed to be going out tonight so it will be interesting to see whether she turns up or not. I continue to pray for whatever is going on with her and for our time together tonight (if she comes), that we would have a good time that you would grant me the wisdom to know what to say to her in the event she does turn up.
I commit everything to you in the name of Jesus…Amen
