The fellers have taken up chess. Granny gave them a learning chess set, it tells which direction each piece can move. They also practice on a chess app on the iPad. It will only allow you to move the pieces correctly.
So the two of them concocted a plan to meet at the the bench on the playground... between the lower elementary area and the upper elementary area. (big brother's in 4th grade, little brother's in 1st)
I go to school during morning recess to engage our youngest in sensory therapy, part of his sensory breaks ordered by his physician for Sensory Processing Disorder.
When I arrived the 1st grader (who usually lolly-gags & does not make it out doors very quickly) was already waiting on the bench... feet dangling, legs swinging back & forth.
"I'm waiting for ---- (insert brothers name) mom." he called out to me.
This was a precious sight... I will burn into my brain for eternity.
The big brother showed up.... empty handed.
"Where's the chess set?" the little brother inquired.
"The teacher didn't think it should come outdoors," the elder replied.
"That silly 4th grade teacher..... Let go swing, I'll push you," and off they went. Engaging in excellent sensory play.
The 4th grade teacher wouldn't allow the chess set to go out, she wanted the boys to understandably play and exercise. I spoke with her & she consented to allowing the chess match for the longer lunch recess.
This has me thinking about our relationships in Christ. We are called to be brothers & sisters to fellow believers... to play together, break bread together, to support and love one another.... as well as those who do not yet know the Lord.
Peter expresses the critical-ness of this...
2 Peter 1: 5-7

| Painting that hangs in our entryway... ...the beginnings of brotherly love. |
So today they are trying again. "Meet me at the bench for lunch recess," the elder called as they walked to their classrooms this morning." the sweet sounds of brotherly love....
