So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”
John 12:13
Eliane is very skilled with her fingers. Rainbow loom is her thing these days! She has the patience and the imagination to work on intricate wristband designs or even little flowers or animals. Often, she starts with instructions from the internet and follows them to the T. Other times, she comes up with her own designs. It is quite impressive, what she can do with just tiny little rubber bands! She twists, loops, and knots them, she can double them up and stretch them. And in the end, she might have created a little octopus!
She delights in all the colors! She loves the forms she can create. She tweaks and changes things up to get certain effect. All this, she does totally on her own. I don't have to help, lend a hand, or even rescue her in a complicated move gone wrong. It is amazing what she can do with her skilled hands!
The other day, our Classical Conversation school community put on an Entrepreneur Day. She didn't hesitate! Quickly, she had sorted out an assortment that she was ready to sell. She added a few more animals and had to calculate prices. When the day came, she was prepared. It went well: her friends and classmates bought quite a few of her creations. Eliane was happy about the money she made that day. What a neat hobby!
Da nahmen die Menschen Palmenzweige, liefen Jesus entgegen und riefen ihm begeistert zu: »Gelobt sei Gott! Gepriesen sei, der in Gottes Auftrag kommt, der König von Israel!«
Joh. 12:13
Kuerzlich gab es in unserer Schulgemeine Classical Conversations einen Entrepreneurtag. Sie zoegerte nicht! Schnell hatte sie ein Sortiment zusammengestellt, das sie zum Verkauf anbieten wollte. Ein paar neue Tiere stellte sie dafuer extra noch her. Eine Preisliste musste kalkuliert werden. Als der Tag kam, war sie vorbereitet. Und es ging sehr gut: Ihre Freunde und Klassenkameraden kauften einige ihrer Werke. Eliane hat sich sehr ueber die Einkuenfte dieses Tages gefreut. Was fuer ein Hobby!
