There have been many children in our school who have been out sick. Children tend to forget to cover their mouths when they cough. So, our Pre-K 3 class had a lesson from Nurse Brandie.
The next day when we were in computer class, Sam asked to go to the bathroom. In the quiet classroom, the computer teacher and I looked at one another and laughed as we heard singing coming from the bathroom. "Happy birthday to Sam, happy birthday to Sam ..." He remembered to sing it twice as he washed his hands.
And so I continue to count my every day blessings ...

Good Morning. Rain has been great, however, I'm ready for it to move along. Am trying to avoid the sickness but I'm not sure that I'm winning. I'm working on "The Plan" and it seems to be working. I'm so grateful. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh it's that time of year where all the germs seem to be making everyone around us sick. So cute that the children are learning to prevent that. We are getting rain here today too... a nice change from the snow and ice! :) Thanks so much for linking up!!!
ReplyDeleteReally cute post and reminded me so much of my teaching days. I had to smile also.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the prayer! Me too!
We enjoyed some wonderful rain this week-end too. California never gets much either. I enjoyed it! Soo much flu going around, wish EVERYONE would practice more with covering their mouths and washing their hands. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteDebbie - what an encouraging post! I haven't thought of Andrew Murray in many years, although I read him quite a lot when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying a season of some nice rain. blessings to you - Marsha
So glad you are getting some rain...it just makes everything so fresh....
ReplyDeleteI love reading the stories about your kids at school....as well as your gratitude list....You always encourage me when I visit...
I'm happy for your geraniums too. They are such lovely grandmother plants. I'm trying my best to get them survive the winter in my living room, waiting for spring and warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteI like that "Happy birthday" singing. I just might do that myself. I'm afraid I am to fast when washing.
Have a wonderful, joyful week.
I am really trying to teach my little one the importance of washing hands, covering cough, etc. Great post!!
ReplyDeleteI am just laughing about him singing...I can just hear it...how precious.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well on your health and weight...go girl! Your reading looks great also...sounds like a great study.
I was thinking about that very thing today, singing HB twice while washing my hands. How funny! That really is a long time, but guess it's needed to get rid of all the cooties. :o)
ReplyDeleteMy little Princess has the flu and I'm keeping her until she's recovered and can return to her sitter. She's felt rotten!
Enjoyed your thankful list!
So glad my Phoenix phriends are getting some moisture! I love your gratitude list, and I join you on several. Particularly talking to my dad, and also Abiding in Christ. Oh, I love me some Andrew Murray!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Debbie!
Grateful for the outpouring of rain in Phoenix! Oh and it's so important to teach the little ones how to keep themselves and others germ free. This has been such a hard season already for the cold/flu bug. Praying you have a beautiful week!
