Snowy Day Friendmaking

We had our second Narimasu worship service this morning. I was outside shoveling snow with some kids before the service when a seven-year-old girl walked up and asked if she could help "because there's nothing else to do. " So she helped us shovel and sweep snow for a while. It turns out that she had come to our Christmas party last month and remembered us as fun people. She asked what we were doing today. We told her about Sunday School. She went home to ask her parents if it was OK for her to come. After getting permission, she came back with a book of matches "because it's cold today." We had fun at Sunday School playing games, talking, and eating doughnuts. I guess the room was warm enough because no matches were lit. Before she left, she asked me to write a nametag for her. "But you already have one," I replied. "No. I need it for when I come again next week." Who was I to argue?
