Little Bear on a Mission...
Last Friday was Little Bear's last day of Kinderbeargarten until after the Thanksgiving holidays. He was so excited to be at home and prepare for their family gathering. At dinner that evening, Mama Bear asked Little Bear about school that day. Little Bear began to tell his parents about a fun activity his class did. He said the teacher asked them what they were thankful for? PaPa Bear asked what was his answer and Little Bear said he was thankful for his little blue bike. He said the other kids said they were thankful for their toys and their video games, but one boy said he was thankful for his parents. PaPa and Mama Bear looked at each other in surprise. Mama Bear explained to her son that it was okay to like his bike and enjoy riding his bike, but he should be thankful to the Lord above for more important things in life than a toy or other material items. She explained the love of family and friends and the love of God is most important. She went on to say she wished the other kids knew this important lesson. That gave Little Bear a sudden thought and the next morning he was a kid on a mission. He went to wise
to ask, "What are you thankful for?" Then he visited 
and 
and 
to ask them the same question. They all responded in different ways. Little Bear explained to them the important lesson his parents gave him. Later that day, Little Bear visited his relatives 
to get their responses. That evening he was a very tired little bear. As he crawled into bed he told his mom about his mission and how he shared the things that he is most thankful for with his friends and relatives and they shared with him. He quickly dozed off to dreamland as Mama Bear tucked him in. Mama Bear sat there for another minute gazing at her sleeping son and to give thanks to God for a son that was so precious and loved beyond measure. What are you thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day?
