The last few days of school …. wonderful times…. so much to do….kids to care for…. tests to write….papers to grade… a time of multitudes of blessings…. but of little time to write…but I’m back, joyous, grateful…
The smile of a kid who has done well on a test
Quiet hours at my desk at home
Dog at my feet
A warm cup of coffee
Snow in Texas in November
The wonder of watching kids catching snowflakes on their tongues
Joy at tough kids turning into children in the snow
Video cameras to capture it
The ability to share it
Spirit of Christmas boys and girls who need gifts
Shopping for spirit of Christmas
Happy people shopping for their loved ones
Selecting gifts for a child I don’t know
Getting a few extra things for the child I don’t know
The spirit of Christmas arriving
A little dog who doesn’t know what to do with snow
Kids rehearsing the Christmas play at Church
Kid laughter
Friends greeting one another
Cold, clean air
Bright skies, crisp days
Babies
A toddler trying to give me everything on his plate
That toddler being the son of a former student who I think of as a son
The silence of fog
The silence of snow
Getting in contact with people I love on Facebook
Helping a kid who doesn’t get balancing chemical formulas
Kids joking with me
Me joking with kids
Wonderful people to work with at school
The best relatives I could as for
Eggnog
Warm fire in the fireplace
Coldsprings, Texas
People who talk to you on the street in small towns
The blessing of having enough
Kids who tell you that you are the best
Kids who are the best
Thinking about my mom and dad this time of year
A meal after church with the best friends
Hot Chocolate
Marshmallows
The story of the Birth of Christ
Kids playing Joseph and Mary in the church play
Young musicians playing violins and cellos
Praying with people in need
Ministry
Planning a spring garden
As this Holy Time of year wraps us in its warmth I find my heart full. There is so much of which to be thankful…
Once you start thinking about it the spring flows…..
