Ok so I went a little farther than 50....I actually could keep going awhile longer. I wonder how many things you could come up with if you took the time to think about it. Thanksgiving isn't a day in November, it's an attitude we should have all year long.
God Bless,

I think you're brave and gifted to teach middle-schoolers. I taught 6th grade English, once, and I barely made it through the year (i.e., I'm not as brave and gifted as you). I just started teaching women's Sunday school 6 weeks ago. Loving it. Blessed to meet you.
Thanks Brandee,
I felt called to step up when a few kids were ready to move beyond our kid's sunday school class. I really enjoy them in the church setting...not so much in a school setting. I work with kindergartners in the schools...I very much enjoy them. I just returned to college full time and that takes up alot of my time so I don't blog as often as I would like. But trying to find time to do it more. I feel blessed to meet you as well. I found you through my Pastor's wife's blog. I pray a Blessed and joyous week for you and your family!!!
