One thousand gifts and counting ...
As I took a few photos, a farmer was busy working in the field. He told me he was planting a variety of melons. He invited me to return later in the season so I could pick my own to buy.

#60 A beautiful hand made card from a special first grade after school student that touched my heart
#61 Realizing that I am being transformed into the image of Christ as I abide in Him
The children love it when I take photos of their shoes. Kambria was very excited to show off her cowboy boots.
#63 Only four more weeks of the school year
# 64 Savoring every moment with the children
#65 Looking forward to teaching Culinary Camp for a two week summer session to first through fourth graders
Carpooling gives me lots of time to get to know Tara. We've grown to become good friends, even though I'm old enough to be her mother. :) She's getting married to Josh at the end of July, so I get to hear all the details of the wedding planning. I have to admit that ...I'm loving it.

Life can be very challenging but God is good. How thankful I am as I look for the everyday blessings He provides.

How lovely to C the excitement in these children's faces. Oh, and where is this place? I'd like to go and cut roses & get melons later in the summer. How wonderful. Have a super great day. Hugs.

Good Morning! How I enjoyed this post Debbie. Nothing like little ones...When Mel was doing her internships she worked as an aide in a couple of different elementary schools. She got a note or two everyday from the precious little ones. They were just darling. She had them pinned all over her mirror in her room. The roses look great. Have a good day! HUGS
ReplyDeleteHi, Debbie
ReplyDeleteAnother fun post - loved the picture of the boots - and the story about the roses.
My own roses need some tending and you may just have inspired me to get out there and work on them today. :)
Have a wonderful day - Marsha

very sweet! I love Kambria's boots, too. and those caterpillars are awesome to watch- I cannot wait to watch them emerge from their chrsylis!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pictures and all the things you are thankful about. Love you ~
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your list. You seem to find blessings in all that comes your way. The children you work with are a lucky group. Sweet blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteIf you knew what great you are giving by sharing these everyday star moments.
You're spreading light into my life and I feel blessed by your blessings, the farmer, the children, the colleague and the caterpillar.
I hope you get some beautiful red roses for your home, and I hope they smell as good as they look.
You indeed are my everyday hero, and that's when it really counts.
Sunday Saints are boring, their glory fade when the toil and adversity of real life start sanding the surface.
You do the opposite; you shine of real gold and honest love.
God bless you and stay steady by your side,- now and always.

What a privilege to pour into the lives of children. Love the roses!
ReplyDeleteI'm over from Ann's. I loved your list today ... the way you talk about your students just warms my heart! :) Thanks for sharing and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteOver the years you have had some interesting subjects. I really liked the time you did the names of God. But I must admit, I really like this one. Just finding those things you are thankful for - seeing God blesses you (us) all the time, if we just take time to look around.
