I haven't done my run yet: this morning, we had breakfast of oats and fruit, Fiona, D n me, and conversation.
The word to me today is: Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil. (Proverbs 3:3,7)
Last night, Fiona and I had a great time at the Sri Semarak Reading Room. She had been there only once for the first session in February, and those children who had met her had been asking for her. There were more than 20 children, eager, lively and happy to be there. Fiona read aloud 2 books, but only some listened to it all. A few are too young and all have short attention spans, and they all still need to learn the discipline of staying still and quiet to listen. But we see signs of growth in learning to love books and reading. They have been allowed to borrow one book back each and have so far been good in taking care of the books. We have to train the prefects/librarians and give them some responsibilites, and enforce the rules in a stricter manner. The kids: they grow on you.
