I had all these things that I wanted to write about and then my blog crashed. Let's see if I can remember:
HATS OFF TO SPECIAL NEEDS TEACHERS
During my last month of teaching, I was placed many times in the special needs class. I have such high respect for those who are called to this profession. I was amazed at the amount of children who require extra help and the extent of their disabilities. I also saw how attached they become to their teachers. Most students become very excited when they have a sub. Not a special needs child. They love their teacher so much that they are truly sad when he or she isn't there. If you know of someone who works with special needs children...give them a high five or a big hug today...they are heroes.
PARENTING IS TOUGH
It seems that lately each one of our children has gone through some type of trial or circumstance. As a parent I have felt so inadequate. So what got me through it? First...prayer. I truly know that He can sustain us through all things and loves our children even more then we do. Second...advice. I have called so many moms lately just to seek their advice and counsel. I am truly blessed to have women in my life who have raised wonderful children and are willing to share with me their mistakes and successes. Third...send them to "Camp Grandma". This special camp is a place where they can get away from it all. They can do whatever they want, whenever they want. They can buy whatever they like and as much as they like. Yes...this even includes eating 5 ice cream cones in one day. Make your reservation now for "Camp Grandma". Space is limisted.
WHO REACHES OUT TO PARIS
This may seem like a crazy topic. Yesterday I was talking to Ashley about this. Who has access to celebrities? Who could share the Gospel with people like Paris Hilton? As her story unfolds it is obvious that this is someone with a void in her life. A void that is God shaped. How do we reach a Paris Hilton?
