A grandfather's story

This post comes from my father-in-law Bob Willman

Liz was aware that Robbie and his best friend had been bickering for the past two weeks. Both she and Daniel's mother had to intercede on several occasions. After the Easter break, Robbie was seen away from the other children, during recess. The principal, being aware that a pedophile had recently been released to a halfway house near the community, was concerned about Robbie being alone and approached him. As she approached she could see Robbie speaking. "Who are you speaking to Robbie?" she asked. "God" was his answer. "I am not getting along well with Daniel and I am asking for God's help." The principal was moved to tears when she advised the boy's teacher. Later that afternoon when Lizzie went to pick up her son the principal overheard Robbie's teacher briefing Liz. "Wait that's my story" and the principal started at the beginning. Liz said that it was an emotional story as this was the first time, in a career of occasions, that a student was seen speaking to God.
May you all be so blessed.
