I love my job!!

Thank You Jesus for my job and for my students. I love them. This year's students are big huggers. I am thankful for them.

It is that time of the year to proclaim the things for which I am thankful!!

Psalm 118
4 Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever." 24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success. 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you. 27 The LORD is God, and He has made His light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever.
As the weather is changing and the nights have been clear and crisp, I find myself sitting outside at night before I go to bed praying and contemplating the many blessings in my life. Lately, I feel a sense of contentment that is deeper than I can even fully understand; in fact, as I am sitting and writing, I feel that I can't even express what it is that I want to say, or how I feel. So forgive me if I am redundant. I want to share with you, some of the many things for which I thank my Lord.
Thank you God for:
