In a lesson of religious education a girl came to me who wanted to show me a plus task. I was very surprised because I knew from the homework supervision that she didn’t like mathematics at all. She had painted a picture of her task and explained it to me: “Sometimes I’m very sad because I experienced something terrible, or I did something bad. Then I tell everything Jesus, no matter what it is.” At first she had painted her heart with a black crack. After the plus sign she had painted a bright light and explained: “Nevertheless, Jesus loves me, understands everything and is not angry with me.” After the equality sign she had painted her heart, without crack, surrounded by the bright light. Finally she pointed on the result of her equation and said: “In the end Jesus repairs my heart, and it is like new.” We noticed that if God’s spirit is with us even maths can make you happy.
