Teacher Appreciation Week . . .

Perks . . Perks . . .

Yep there are a few . . .

I appreciate my son and daughters so much more now a days!

I can truly say that they had some terrific teachers.  They put their heart and soul into serving the Lord and teaching and training our wonderful kids. 



Whether you child's teachers are serving God through teaching or not let me tell you they are putting their hearts into the work.

To have the awesome opportunity to teach these little one is humbling for me. 



There are days that the stress level is high like party days or special event days.  Getting it all together so the kids have a good time and maybe even learn something too can be lots of work. 



But I suspect that most teachers would say it is worth it.

It means more to me than I can express to be able to say I am a teacher. 



Beginning a 2nd career at 'over 50' is overwhelming.  But when you realize that it's God's plan for your life it is a major Blessing.

Everyday I smile when I go to work.  It is not drudgery getting up in the morning. 



I love my job.  I love my kids.  Love that God gave me the opportunity.



And, well the perks aren't bad either . . . 

Today one family gave me a lovely set of lotions, bath salts and darling washcloth and some body spray.  I also received a Chick Fila gift card WooHoo.   One family brought  me a dozen donuts
(I shared with my co-workers!)

I have some amazing families.  I am Blessed.
