Lenten Reflection: March 25


Matthew 5:45

New International Version (NIV)
45  He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

My Reflection: Tomorrow is our girl scout winter awards ceremony. In order to prepare for this event, I have been going through the attendance records and calculating attendance/participation for each girl, so I can know which girl earned what badge. Sometimes, this is more difficult than it sounds. For example, if a badge is earned over a two week period, and the girl only participated one of the weeks, does she still get the badge? For cookie booths, I have some girls who sold cookies for 9 hours total and some who sold for one hour total. This year I even had a few teenagers who showed up to their cookie booths, but either played with their phones or sat and sulked the entire time, and didn't sell a single box. Do they still get the badge? Sometimes the issue of "fairness" can get muddled. Is it fair for some girls to sell cookies for 9 hours, and some just show up and still earn the same badge? Maybe not. It seems life is anything but "fair." P.s. I gave everyone a badge. :-)
