Some dear friends of mine homeschool their children, and it's my honor and privilege to help them out in a few small ways. And every now and then one of the kids will ask if they can show me an assignment. The other day their mom had them write letters to their favorite companies to tell them how much they appreciated their products as a way to teach them about letter writing in their English class.
So I got there one day and the twelve year old asked if she could show me the letter she'd written to her favorite company who makes the dance clothes she loves so much, and what I read melted my heart.
This girl could've written about anything, she could've just said "I like the clothes you make" and left it at that. She didn't. She wrote about how much she loves dance, in fact yesterday was her first day of dance class for this school year but then she shared her dream with them. Izza's dream is to first become a dance instructor, then to become a physical therapist so that she can accomplish her goal to give dance lessons to kids with disabilities. Disabilities like Downs Syndrome like her baby sister has.
Twelve years old and this girl has already figured out how to use her love for dance and turn it into something that will bless others. She has a pure heart and in Matthew 5:6 Jesus said "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
Cherish those around you that do have pure hearts, encourage their dreams and never forget to pray for them.
