Teacher

My oldest granddaughter will visit today to interview me about special education through the years. She is a junior in college, studying to be an elementary teacher. She has been observing in some inner city schools in Louisville, and her eyes have been opened to the many needs.

I remember when I started to school in 1956, there was no special class. Then in 1958, we had a wonderful teacher who came to teach children of various ages with many different diagnoses. Miss Brazeal was an inspiration to me.

I spent many years as a special education teacher and I was so blessed by the children and their families.

I love this worship chorus

I will come and bow down

At Your feet, Lord Jesus.

In Your presence

Is fullness of joy.

There is nothing

There is no one

Who compares with You.

I take pleasure in

Worshiping You Lord.

Nody or Nice?

The grandkids were here for Thanksgiving and Kaedyn helped me get out the Christmas ornaments and decorate the tree. While going through the closet, we found her little notebook from first grade. She had written: "Nody List", and NANA was the only person on the list. I can't imagine what naughty deed I had done. Oh, was it because I nodded off in my recliner after dinner? lol

The light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:5

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Summer and winter

and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars

in their courses above

Join with all nature 

in manifold witness

to Thy great faithfulness,

mercy and love.
