the little gifts

Today I'm thankful for the little gifts that seem to come at just the right time.

Getting a phone call from a friend from home who I miss, but I hadn't taken the chance to call.

Reading a heart-wrenching story about a family losing a child, and then gratefully hugging my own - forgetting what I was frustrated with him about.

Overwhelmed by too many papers to grade before report cards - and finding out that I have a Teacher Assistant in my classroom ALL DAY! (Thank you Kami!)

Having weekend guests and a dinner party so that I will be motivated to finish unpacking and do a little decorating. It's time to be out of boxes.....time for curtains and pictures on the wall. This house is really starting to feel like home. It's perfect for us.

Remembering that tomorrow is FRIDAY, the day I get to stop by Starbucks on the way to school.....

Realizing that I can get 6 hours of sleep tonight instead of 5.

The little gifts.

THank you God.
