how are you feeling?

"Be kind and compassionate to one another..." Ephesians 4:32  

Even though Book Fair produced a hectic, cRaZy, maddening work week, it was also full of refreshment for the soul.  Terrific volunteers, extra snacks and coffee, helpful administration and custodial staff, flexible teachers and supportive parents were all magnificent reasons to keep smiling.

But i must say, students win the prize for premier inspiration.  Watching them pool their money together to help a classmate buy a book, buying a book for their teacher or donating part of their own money to our "books4all" wins the JOY crown. Every day, we heard excited students chatter about how Book Fair week is their most favorite week at school... and in this highly techy age that is amazing. 

How can i not love what i do?  When kindness sprinkles into your days like this, hope fills your heart for today and for the future.

Kindness wins and covers exhaustion, stress, fear, anxiety, doubt, uncertainties and more.  Be the blanket someone needs today.  Then, snuggle up with a Good Book, and thank God for our blessings.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
