This is a list of things we want to do for Martin Luther King Jr. Day that would make him happy:
1. Buy some food for people who don't have as much as us ... and extra warm clothes.
2. Get the candle that Mrs. Marks from church gave us and light it to make the world brighter.
3. Be thankful for the world.
4. E-mail someone and say thank you for anything nice they did.
5. Smile at Mom 'cause I love her.
6. Make a picture that is beautiful.
Dear Grace,
ReplyDeleteDo you remember reading a book called Miss Rumphius? It's the story about a little girl who wants to grow up and do three things: 1) travel to far away places, 2) live by the sea, and 3) find a way to make the world more beautiful. I hope you get to travel and live by the sea and have lots of adventures, too, and I especially think it's great that you're already thinking about how you can make the world more beautiful. Do you remember how little Alice makes the world more beautiful? I like your list, and I think you've already done a lot to make the world more beautiful to me-- when you tell me stories and make pictures for my classroom and pray for Weetzie and make me birthday dinner and when we go hat shopping together and when you ask about my day, you really make me happy and make the world seem more beautiful. Thank you, Grace!
Love,
Melissa
Dear Melissa,
DeleteI am so glad that you like my stories. I do not remember the story about Miss Rumphius (but Mommy says it's upstairs and it will be a good story to read tonight). Did you read my Dunkin' Pig blog? I would love for you to read it.
Love,
Grace
