Thanksgiving. A day of giving thanks. I have so much to be thankful for…most of us do. But I am lucky because I get to go to work everyday and be surrounded by blessings. Maybe you do too. Maybe not. But everyday it’s a certainty for me. How blessed am I to go spend my days surrounded by these 26 blessings (in no particular order…so don’t try and figure it out.)
The one who greets me with a hug (or two) each and every day.
The one who took a chance in math one day and then said “Now I get it!!”
The one who can’t stop talking…
And the one who just started to talk more.
The one who loves to dance…
And the one who always asks to dance by me.
The one whose thinking is beautifully different.
And the one who thinks of everything.
The one who was so unsure at the beginning and couldn’t be more sure now.
The one who gets my mass cross for me every week.
The one who gives me a backward hug so I guess who it is.
The one with the sweet voice who doesn’t know how smart she is yet.
The one who prays for her little cousin…every day.
The “lefty” who is a journal champion.
The one with a wealth of general knowledge. (He makes me richer.)
The Psalm leader (he learns it so fast every month).
The one with those beautiful eyes.
And the one with the beautiful smile.
The one who says “I love you” right out loud…every day.
The one who always prays for the world.
And the one who prays for guinea pigs.
The young author who reads “books” to us.
The artist who tries hard to sit still.
The emerging reader who tries hard to try harder.
The one who already knows how much I love her.
And the one I held as a newborn baby my first year of teaching.
Add in the best classroom pet ever...and I am VERY blessed.
So thankful for these very special…twenty-six blessings each day.
