A parent-teacher conference I'll never forget
All of a sudden, we were in a deep conversation about God.
As the school term drew to a close, I had one last opportunity to meet my daughter's teacher at a parent-teacher conference. Though I greatly respected her knowledge, qualifications, and rich cultural background, I didn't know her well. My impression from the few exchanges we'd had wasn't one of warmth or particular connectedness to the students.
On the way to the conference, I listened to a cassette tape of some children talking about how they turn to God for healing. Their simple accounts were touching and powerful. By the time I reached the school, I was filled with gratitude for God's goodness and for the way He takes care of all His children.
