The night before our grandson Isaac, 4, was to start Pre-K, his father sent out a request for prayer. Isaac was throwing a fit and not wanting to go. Imagine my surprise the next morning to see a smiling boy decked out in school uniform in a 1st Day of School photo! Turns out he has loved it from the first day!
This past week-end, the family drove 1 1/2 hours to meet his other grandparents for dinner half-way to their home in Waco. Isaac insisted on wearing his school uniform and shoes! I'm sure he regaled them with his enthusiasm about school, as he did me on the phone.
I had heard about an open house they had at the school where his mom, dad and sisters were treated to a guided tour of the building by Isaac, who took charge of pointing out points of interest.
Last night the talkative little boy proudly explained the lay-out to me on the phone, naming cafeteria, playground, P.E. room, gymnasium, music room, and library!
It is a French school, where his father also works, teaching French and English--English to the French students and French to the English students. Isaac is learning basic French words in his class. It is so cute to hear him say "Basure" for Bonjour and other pronunciations. (His daddy says the main attraction for Isaac is the state-of-the art playground!)
I couldn't help thinking, Wouldn't it be wonderful if people were that enthusiastic about church? Or spreading the gospel? Being happy to wear the "uniform" of a Christian? The shirt of Isaac's uniform has the emblem of his school on it. An emblem represents an organization, a philosophy or a person. As Christians, our emblem is Jesus! May we wear it with a true representation of Him!
