Caroleen’s Treasures

It is Sunday once again, Ella’s favorite day of the week. I woke up feeling so sore on my back and legs so I stayed in bed until almost 8 in the morning. Kid’s snacks are prepared last night so there’s nothing to hurry about. We had a quick breakfast of rice and left over vegetables from last night after I had a shower. Ella was so excited for the service and the Sunday School and she was the first human in the chapel. Human I should say because Bogart, her dog, was already there.

Last night Ella passed out earlier than usual because she doesn’t took a nap and because she was crying. She went to the store with Tadiday and Ella as hyper as she is could not walk, ran fast as she could and stumbled on the rocks which I can say was quite hard because her jammies has a hole on the right knee.

Good that she wears jammies…she got only a little bruise from the accident.

She was too tired and has slept soundly without drinking milk. I waited for her to wake up to pee so I could let her drink it.

We have some problems in our church which I would really like to be taken cared of. First is the chairs. We only have 25 mono block chairs, two long benches and two shorter ones. One of the long bench is carried to our Kid’s class each Sunday before we start and back to the chapel after the class. So if we will have some visitors, some need to stand up like what we did the last time we had some visitors. Then the song books. We had enough numbers of song books if and only if they are ALL the same. What we have are two different song books and some songs on the other book could not be found on the other one. I always put a song book on a chair then leave a chair empty so the two persons sitting together could “share” and we all could sing together using the green book which has the most hymns that we sing. I did it again yesterday when I arranged the hall for the service but to my dismay, when I went in for the worship service after my class with the kids, I have NO song book to open. I looked around and saw the people infront have one each and they are like whispering to themselves while singing.

All in all the service went well as well as my kid’s class. With only two kids, it is so quite and I have not strained myself too much like I always do. Ella and another girl named Camille, enjoyed our story about Hannah, his son Samuel and Eli the preast. The good thing about having no coloring pages related to the story is that kids can exercise their imagination and creativity. And I could say they are very creative and imaginative! I always laugh at how Ella drew. Here’s her version of Eli the priest, Hannah and Samuel.

As you noticed this is a picture of the new generation Eli the preast wears a baseball cap, shirt and pants. Hannah wears a beautiful blue dress with a wide belt and carrying a handbag (probably LV). And Samuel also wear a cap, holding a toy car and a dog!

 Please do not judge me. I read them a story with good illustrations but Ella just loves playing with her drawings and she said boys needs to wear cap because they look silly with nothing on their heads. And for Hannah…oh well, I need to ask her tomorrow the reason behind her glamorous look. And I don’t even know Samuel has a dog!
