The Miracle Worker...
Friday morning...bright and early...the two older kids and I bundled up and headed out for our special date! :-)
...the Miracle Worker!!!
It was phenomenal!
We have been talking about being "deaf" for several weeks...and Tyler actually wrote a paper about a member at our church that is hearing impaired.
The timing of this show seemed to coincide with what we were learning in school.
And it was soooooo good!!!
The kids were riveted from the moment the lights went down to the very end.
All of the actors did an amazing job!!!
Although I can not relate to the hardships that Anne Sullivan faced in her challenging position...I can relate to her determination to do what is right, even when hard.
Several of her quotes brought tears to my eyes...
It's less trouble to feel sorry for her than it is to teach her anything better.
The world is not an easy place for anyone.
But to let her have her way in everything is a lie.
You've got to stand between her and that lie.
Obedience without understanding is a blindness.
She'll live up to what you demand and no more.
Watching the show with my two precious kids was the highlight of my week.And the advice I walked away with from dear Miss Sullivan will stay with me forever!
