May God's Love Bloom in our Hearts

Yesterday we learned how to fold a pretty piece of construction paper two times, draw half a heart on it and cut it out.  One at a time the children giggled with excitement as they unfolded the paper and found they had cut out not only one heart, but two!  Well, giggle is an understatement--I actually had to shut my door to contain the shrieks of excitement in the classroom.  Every year the reaction is exactly the same.  I love it!  We made flowers with the hearts and they are posted up with the caption "May God's Love Grow in our Hearts!"  Our Bible verses this month are a great reminder of not only God's love for us, but of our responsibility to love others.  Only God can give us this genuine, unselfish love for others.
