We had an interesting Holiday Tea at school this week. Josiah told us he had written a poem and was chosen to record it for the program. He did not tell us what it said. So we heard it for the first time at school. Keep in mind this is a public school in Indianapolis. Several teachers pulled us aside and said how much they liked it. If you listen to the applause the parents and kids sitting around him liked it as well. Well, Merry Christmas!! More later.

Love Him, Oh Love Him
(What Christmas Means to Me)
Letting everyone celebrate their religion
And having a great time.
It is not about the presents, it is about having fun with all.
So let out a SHOUT of joy that it is almost Jesus’ birthday.
So sing loud for all to hear about Him.
He is the One who died for our sins,
which He knew about all along,
Ever since he who made Adam and Eve.
So know He will let you play on Christmas Eve
And on His birthday!!
So celebrate and celebrate even if you don’t believe in Him.

Dear Josiah,
I just cannot believe that the shy 3rd grader who entered my classroom is really the same boy who is now writing such beautiful poetry. AND that you are so brave to record it and have it played in front of your peers and an audience of parents!
I'm so proud of you. I am sitting here right now with tears in my eyes!
Love,
Sonya
Chris,
I can't imagine how proud you must be. What a blessing... a little child just led them!
That made me cry, that is really special! He has such a beautiful heart and such great love!
