Last Friday was our first day of co-op.

As lunch time arrived, Katriel spoke to me, utterly devastated. The $1 she had packed for herself to buy a treat at the snack bar was missing.  I provided her another $1 bill, and she survived nicely.

On the drive home, she shared a story about how as they were changing classes this afternoon, she found a $50 on the floor and turned it in to an adult teacher.  She asked me what would happen to the person who lost the money.  They probably needed it for something important. I assured her the board would make sure the rightful owner got it and God would take care of them.

Fast-forward to last night.  I got a text around 8:00PM about Katriel and found money.  I assumed it was about her $1 lost, because that was what she’d talked about on and off all week.  Then I remembered she’d found money and –BINGO- that was what Mrs. Jenn was talking about.  She said she wanted to recognize Katriel’s character during announcements.  You could have knocked Katriel down with a feather when they called her up.

You could have knocked ME over with a feather when they blessed her with a certificate, some treats, a $5 ticket for snacks at the snack bar, and a $25 VISA gift card!  WHOA! 

I’m not the least bit astonished that she turned the money in.  But I’m glad she had such a wonderfully sweet blessing to boot.
