Emily is sitting in the grass on the playground, it's a beautiful Indian summer morning in November. She is wearing a bright and colorful sundress and has a new gold necklace with a cross on the end of it. Natalie is sitting next to her. The girls are singing a song to their upcoming Christmas play and waving their hands through the soft green grass.
Ms. Jen sits next to the young girls and says "Emily, what a pretty necklace you have today, is it new?"
Natalie perks up and notices the shiny treasure for the first time, "Ohhh, where did you get it", she asks Emily.
"It's from God", Emily answers as she looks down at the cross and smiles.
