There is this great little book that was published in 1991 and is no longer in print...it is AMAZING! "Mrs. Rosey Posey and the chocolate cherry treat" the book is about how you view yourself- the value you place on yourself and the VALUE that Jesus sees in each of us. the message is amazing- it was written for young children- but a great tool for youth ministry.
in the book mrs. rosey posey asks natalie olivia if she would rather be a used paper plate, a plain old dinner plate or a fine china plate.....what a great image to use with students.
so i have this friend who owns the book ( i have looked into getting it...but finding it used and the price of $52 has stoped me since the book sold for $3.99--- i may give in one day soon) and likes to present it to girls. so i had a 8th grade girls weekend (only 2 of my 8 came- but we charged ahead) and we spent the weekend talking about our identity- the worlds view on how we should live, look and be...the challenges that await in high school and who we want to become. we went to jane's house saturday night and enjoyed treats and the great story of mrs. rosey posey....now if i could just find the book somewhere and not have to sell a kidney to afford it....that would be amazing!
