May 17
Each year every single staff member at the girls' school, from the principal down to the janitor, gives out a "golden ticket". This year Lexi was chosen by our wonderful secretary Miss Terri. It was truly a blessing, as Lexi had been feeling a little down recently. She's a good student, a hard worker, and a great kid, but it's a sad truth that sometimes kids like her get overlooked when teachers want to encourage the strugglers to do better. Add to that the fact that she's a middle child in the shadow of an academically outstanding big sister, and you have a girl who often feels unimportant and unnoticed. I will admit that I have been praying for months that she wouldn't be overlooked this time, and I fully believe that the Lord gives us gifts through the hands of others. And Miss Terri gave Lexi a wonderful gift today. She felt so special - what a great way to end her elementary school career!
