Walking home from school with God

Susan Adams

Do you ever walk to school? I did every day when I was in kindergarten. Sun, rain, or snow, I walked the five blocks to the old, red brick building that was my school.

Before I left each morning, my mom would give me a big hug and whisper, “God loves you, Susie.” Then she watched as I walked through our backyard and climbed the big steps up to the wooden gate. Once I was through the gate, I crossed the narrow street and walked to my friend Molly’s house so we could go to school together. It was a fun way to start the day. When school was over at lunchtime, we followed the same path home.

One day Molly and I walked into our classroom and got a big surprise. There were lots of people there, and a fun party was going on, with cake and games and singing.
