PURE THOUGHTS FOR A PURE HEART
10 - Pure Thoughts for a Pure Heart
onia and Monica come home from their first day at school. Both are excited that they learnt a lot of new things on their first day, but...
each one's idea of new things is totally different. Watch you thoughts, they become your action; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character, watch..
Sonia:
Hey Monica! How did the first day of school go today?
Monica:
Great. I learned so much today. You won't believe the new things that I learnt!
Sonia:
Yes, I also learned a lot. We are going to study about Native Americans, and the teacher said that we could build a great big teepee in our classroom. Are you doing anything like that?
Monica:
That's nothing compared to what I learned today!
Sonia:
I also learned about whales and dolphins.
Monica:
Oh, Sonia! That's just baby stuff.
Sonia:
During math class I learned my multiplication facts. Do you want to hear them? 2x7 are 14, 3x6 are 18, and 3x8 are 24. I bet you didn't know that.
Monica:
(Shakes her head) No, we're still working on addition. But I did learn some new words today.
Sonia:
I did too. Do you know what transportation means? I also learned what vaccination means. And what the word colony means.
Monica:
I didn't learn my new words in class. I learned them at recess.
Sonia:
At recess? Your teacher taught you new words at recess?
