Day was just like any other. Come to class, have worship, Bible, Spelling, English, pull out classes, lunch, science, S.S., Reading, Phonics and Handwriting. (2 recess somewhere in there too.) I had to get on to my kids today for talking a whole bunch and there were hardly any marbles handed out and no stickers on homework folders. It was pretty unusual and boring to tell you the truth. Then.... then electricity went out. It was pretty dark, because it was storming really hard outside and there was no sunlight at all. We stopped our assignment early and played heads-up seven-up until the lights came back on. Thankfully, they came on as soon as recess time was over and we continued on as usual.
After all the kids left I was feeling pretty tired, miserable and exhausted. I just wanted to sleep. Then the Pastor came to my classroom and got on my case because my kids were playing infront of the church, when they were supposed to be sitting infront of the school waiting for their parents. This did not make me happy and the devil was really on my back giving me a hard time. I knew I had to have a better attitude so I asked God to send something or someone to encourage me and give me strength.
Well, I usually leave my sweeping for the morning, but this afternoon I just stayed for some reason to finish up before staff meeting. Just as I was in the middle of sweeping, two of my girls came in. It was Ilang and Ashlee. Their two hearts combined give enough love for the world two times over. Any way... they have me a really pretty, little six petaled flower and then gave me a hug. I could tell it was Ilang's idea because after she gave me the flower, she had to remind Ashlee that it was time for the hug. She gave a not so sublimanal message to Ashlee. She tried her best to whisper, but that is something that 4th graders can not do. She was like, "Ashlee, hug! Ashlee, hug!" In her quietest tone (which isn't so quiet). Needless to say this brightened my afternoon and now I am ready to go to bed early!
The Lord is so good to me and I can't imagine my life without Him!
Today, ask Him for a small encouragement. Let your faith soar and just see what He does. Don't forget to thank Him in the end!
