Today, I was in the cafeteria during breakfast time. One of the fifth grade girls came up to me and said, "Mrs. Wohlford, do you have pierced ears?" I told her I did and she proceeded to present me with a pair of earrings she made for me. She said she was hoping that would be my answer since she had picked this color for me. (I have no idea what made her choose this particular color).
Then, I looked down at the shirt I pulled out of the closet last night to wear to school today. I couldn't believe my eyes! These earrings were a perfect match to the pinstripes in my shirt! Did she know that those earrings would match anything I had to wear? Of course not! Did I know that she was going to give me earrings in that precise color? Not a chance! But God knew! He prompted me to choose that shirt so that I could take a step that would make this child's day.
I thanked her profusely for the earrings, gave her a big hug, told her how beautiful they were...and proudly put them in my ears to wear for the day. I couldn't have asked for a better start to the school year!
