Life can be hard, sometimes

Emily came home one day late last week and told me the sweetest story.
She has been down about Craig some at school and we are working through those sad moments one at a time. She said that she was sad outside in the bus line one afternoon sitting on the curb with her head laying down on her knees. Ben, one of her classmates, came up and squadding down in front of her and said

 "Life can be hard, sometimes"

Ben is a sweet little man with down syndrome. He is in her Kindergarten class. I would guess Ben knows how hard life can be but also knows how big of a blessing a little encouragement can be.
Emily told someone that story and they asked what she said back to Ben, she said it just made her smile.

Yep, I smiled too when she told me.
God works through the littlest people in the biggest ways.
