{the parts we play...}

Today my sweet girl is playing the part of an announcer {the cutest MOST accessorized one y'all ever did see} at the fair in her 3rd grade class production of "Charlotte's Web". She is in no uncertain terms VERY nervous, & I'm not going to pretend... me too! She has a small part {per her parent's request}, but has gotten past that & has embraced the whole play very very well. She told me last night that in the event that- "Fern, Charlotte, Mrs. Zuckerman, Mrs. Arble, Lurvy, the goose, the sheep, or even Wilbur herself couldn't make it, she has their parts down cold & she would happily fill in!" I didn't even know how to react to that... I just kept thinking of the parts that we play in this life. How they may not be what we expected, but they are the ones that God wants us in right now. These parts, small as they may seem, are getting us ready for our leading role one day. It's funny how we are staring in a role everyday of our lives. We are clapped for some days, praised on others. Still, oftentimes we are criticized & mocked for our performances. I hope to someday leave a legacy to my fans {=my kiddos} that even the smallest roles that I played- I did with all my heart, as though unto the Lord........

I thought it would be fun the throw the class a SURPRISE "Cast Member's Only" party afterwards. They have all worked so hard- they deserve it!!!!! I made these little Wilbur inspired mud-cakes for them.

My sweet Priss made this for Mrs. Miller {today is teacher appreciation day too}. Aren't these little flowers precious? And the blue beads for water- FABULOUS! I wonder where she gets it from {wink wink}!!!

We got up early to roll her hair & go over her lines. Oh the agony of wearing your heart on the outside of your body {=being a mother}. But in the words of A-man this morning- "We love you Prissy, NOT gonna STOP!!"

***Say a prayer for my little Announcer today around 10ish.

I'll be back tomorrow with some pics!!!!***
