Rewarding Teamwork

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

When everyone works together, when all students do their best, when every single person in the class chooses to do what's right, people notice. They compliment the class. Our class received so many compliments that we decided to celebrate.
So for this special occasion, each child brought a favorite stuffed animal to school. (Our class is usually a "No Pets Allowed" place because even pets of the stuffed variety create a distraction, but on this special day, "snugglies" were invited.) The class worked extra hard to convince the teacher that they also deserved a dress-up ----or rather, a "dress-down"---- day.

So everyone wore pajamas, and at noon we took a break to watch a movie.

Mrs. Cathy even provided genuine movie popcorn.

Of course, our motivation for doing good is to please the Lord, but it's nice when other people notice, too. And it's nice to know that we don't have to wait for heaven to receive rewards for our efforts.
