at the beginning of the semester a new girl (let's call her "c") came to em's school and was put in em's class. em, being the friendly, outgoing ball of spunk that she is, offered to show c around. a couple of weeks after c's arrival, em started coming home and telling me that c wasn't being very kind to her and was calling her names and causing problems on the playground. em and i would talk about how she should respond to c and when it would be necessary to talk to the teacher. the situation ended up turning worse and c's aunt was called in to talk to the teacher and em was asked to be in on the meeting and to tell the aunt first hand how c had been acting. the teacher stood behing em the whole time and told her that he was very proud of her, and c's aunt was thankful for em's honesty. em was the kid of character for her class that month for the way that she treated c.
fast forward to today when i was in the room talking with the teacher. he said that he was very proud of how em handled herself with the "c situation". he said that em acted in a very christian-like manner. it's not typical for him to be able to share that with a parent, but he goes to the same church that we go to and he knows how important it is to us.
we are so thankful for the teachers that em has had. out of four teachers, two of them are members of our church and are strong christians... God is so good!
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
Ephesians 4:32
