Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to take a moment before this busy day gets started to say how thankful I am for the job that God has provided for me.  I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl. {I used to try to make my siblings sit still so I could teach them!}  So when I got my first teaching job, I was obviously excited beyond belief.  However, the next two years of teaching were worse than I could have imagined.  When I had my son and stopped teaching, I honestly thought I would never teach again. And I was happy about that.

But God had different plans.  Through some unpleasant circumstances, 

He brought me back to a wonderful school where I am happily teaching again. 

Now I can't imagine being anywhere else or doing anything else.  

I am thankful that I get to work with an amazing group of people who care about their students and make teaching fun.  And of course, I am so thankful for my students.  Without them, my job wouldn't exist!  They can be challenging at times {aren't we all?}, but watching them learn and grow each day is a special blessing.  I love every minute of every day, and I love each of the children I teach!

I hope you will take some time today to reflect on the wonderful things that God has done for you.  And maybe share those praises with your family and friends as well!
