My girls felt beautiful; my boys were so proud. I could feel God's smile as I sat there and watched them put their crowns on. You all accepted this creation with love. What we do unto the least of these- we have done unto Him. Please tell your team how much they meant to the kids, the parents, and their teachers. My personal child and my students were there - and I spoke with more than one parent in tears. You gave them crowns and ministered to their emotions and their souls. I left without words to express what a fabulous job you all did. Giving them crowns so that one day, they can lay at the feet of Jesus - so beautiful!
