Our day was underway. In fact, we were in the middle of a spelling test when a lovely visitor arrived. She was "grown-up" Lucy Pevensie, a favorite character from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Lucy came to talk to us about all she had learned from her Narnia experience with sister Susan and brothers Edmund and Peter. She was recalling her first visit to Narnia, meeting Mr. Tumnus, trying to convince her siblings that Narnia truly existed, treking through the snow with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and learning about The White Witch and Aslan. Lucy imparted some very sobering words to us regarding temptation and sin, especially relating it to her brother Edmund who fell into the snares of the White Witch. She warned us that following sin will lead to great destruction and that we can only find true joy and delight as we follow Truth. She also reminded us not to be too harsh on those falling into temptation as we are guilty ourselves. All of us are sinners, needing a Savior!
Her conclusion was a beautiful poem (future blog entry) capturing the essence of all the marvelous themes in our novel. We thank our dear Lucy (Mrs. Amy Aduddell, first grade aide) for sharing her incredible talents with our class.
