When the students came into school Tuesday morning, this sign was waiting under the document camera:
Home Run was the last one to join the big moving party...he changed shells on Monday night! The new shell he selected is different from all the rest: it has a long, twirly, cone shape. It is patterned with the colors brown and ivory, and is much roomier than his previous shell.
The decision was made to remove his old painted shell form the crabitat. The more Mrs. Derringer reads about painted shells, the more terrible they sound! Whew- glad to have those out of our lives! They made our crabs look neat, but they were not healthy for them at all! Hmm...this seems to mirror what the world tells us, doesn't it? Don't we sometimes do, say, or wear things because we THINK they will somehow make us look better?
In the end, God provides us with what we need to survive and thrive: whether we're humans or hermies, perhaps we should stick with those things God intends for us instead of trying to please others with things that aren't really good for us?
Just more hermit crab food for thought! ;)
