Alex's Dream

Today when we were on our way to pick Alex up from Sunday school the teacher stopped us in the hallway and asked us if Alex is our son. Both Richard and I said, "Yes!" both wondering what OUR son had done to make his mark on his teacher this week and hoping the mark was a positive one. The teacher smiled and put her hand to her heart and began to tell us how sweet our Alex is, and how he had given her chills in class. She told us that they were discussing Joseph and his dreams...they were learning about future dreams and she asked the children to tell her what they dreamed of being when they grow up. The children went around the room saying the occupations that they wanted to one day have....The teacher said that when it came to Alex he said, "I want to be a good husband and an to save animals when I grow up!" She asked him to repeat his answer because she could not believe that what she had just heard.
