365 Days of Blessings, Day 123
1. God’s Timing is always Right.
2. Getting used to the new routine of our morning schedule with water off around 9a.m.
3. Finishing all our lessons early, even when interrupted by an Orthodontist appointment, even when doing them while having a conversation with my parents, even while doing them while our water is off and we aren’t home.
4. New Tap Shoes to replace the old ones that my oldest daughter literally broke twice while dancing. Thankfully the broken half-tap piece that flew across the mall last Saturday didn’t hit anyone.
5. Delving into characterization with my two daughters, and hoping my writing class understands their characterization exercises for the week.
6. Both of my babies are becoming beautiful young girls who are turning into young women, and I’m amazed by how blessed I am. (my youngest is only 9, but she likes to pretend she’s 19)
7. Getting in a five minute conversation that covered an hour’s worth of worry with direction, guidance, and comfort.
8. Meeting new people, and learning new names . . . I will remember!!! I will, I will, I will.
9. Preparing the Sunday School closet with stuff.
10. Throwing out chocolate dated to expire October 2008, and February 2009. It smelled so good, but . . . I only like white chocolate when it’s supposed to be white. (BTW the chocolate was found in a Sunday School supply box . . . if it had been at my house, it would have been eaten in 2007.)
Scripture Blessings:
“If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.” Matthew 10:14
“And if anyone gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42

365 Days of Blessings - Days 113, and 114
365 Days of Blessings, Days 113, and 114
1. God gives us the ability to give.
2. The first day of Sunday School.
3. Fresh paint in the Sunday School basement.
4. A new student.
5. A new teacher . . . fresh perspective.
6. Reading a tough Bible story with a 4th and 5th grade class, and praying all the way through it. Judges 4:1-5:3.
7. Deborah, the prophetess and Judge. See, the Bible really does have some strong women in it!
8. Going to the Western Washington State Fair, or the Puyallup, as it is affectionately called here.
9. Smoothies and curly fries my kids and I can actually eat.
10. Watching my girls, and their friends dance on the education state at the Puyallup Fair. They are all so wonderful!
11. Riding the big, wooden roller coaster.
12. Friends, family, dance, livestock barns, good food . . . all good, and all together.
13. A helpful husband on a busy morning.
14. Two moms coming to tell me that their kids enjoyed my writing class, and getting a card from one of my students. I am thankful for their encouragement!
15. Writing class, the second week, we are all more relaxed and ready to write, and share our writing.
16. Stories that kids tell.
17. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet . . . the prologue, the sonnet form, the wonderful youthfulness of the parts, and the thought-provoking backdrop of the feud.
18. English, Shakespearean sonnets.
19. Getting my preparation work done, here between classes, at the co-operative.
20. Hearing that my kids are having a good day at lunch time. Only one more class to go and I get to be a facilitator in it!
Scripture Blessings:
"When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened tehir treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and incense and myrrh." Matthew 2:10-11
One of my favorite versions of this verse occurred at a Nativity drama a few years ago, when the narrator stated that they brought Jesus "mirth" instead of "myrrh."
