God Is Among Us

I teach.  It's what I do.  I like it.  I've always wanted to be a teacher.  When I was young, my sisters and I played school and I was the teacher.  I gave them test.  I graded their test and loved marking the answers wrong.  Why?  So I could reteach the material.  Obviously they didn't get it the first go around, so I needed to teach it again.  It was fun for me, but boring for them.

Even today in my real classroom, I love to get the red ink pen out to correct papers.  It's almost exhilarating.  Well, I am exaggerating a little, but not much.

In one of my reading classes this week, our vocabulary word was among.  After giving the definition and using it in a sentence myself, I asked young Brandon to use it in a sentence.  (He already had his hand up waving it in the air).  I couldn't wait to hear what grammatically incorrect sentence he would use, but surprisingly this was his sentence.  God is among us.

Well, I was surprised and knew that indeed God was among us.  Not only was it a grammatically correct sentence, it was quite accurate in truth also.  I do believe God helped Brandon to make this sentence and helped me to realize God is indeed among us.
