One of the things my pastor always says from the pulpit is, "You've got stuff, I've got stuff, we've all got stuff." I love that quote because it is so true. We all have a bit of rain fall into our lives from time to time that we have to walk through. This week I've had some unexpected events happen that I never expected. I will spare you the details, but suffice to say on Friday I'm having a medical procedure performed on me, and I'm nervous. Not scared, just nervous. I'm sure I'll feel differently at the time, but right now I'm okay.
However, it's normal to let your mind wander here and there. My mind has done it's fair share of wandering this week. I guess there have been moments of stress and anxiety that I have prayed through, if I'm going to be really honest with you.
So, this afternoon something cool happened that I considered a gift from God.
We were playing Sight Word Bingo in my class this afternoon. In the midst of it, one of my boys, Goofball, started laughing. I have no idea what triggered the laughter, but the next thing I knew, we were all laughing because Goofball's face was as red as a tomato.
And it was one of those moments where even if we had tried to stop, we couldn't.
I know, I should've stopped it all.
I'm the teacher.
But, to be truthful, it felt really, really good.
I laughed so hard that it hurt, and so did the kids.
After it was all over, Austin looked at me, smiled, and said, "That was fun."
Enough said...
Later!
