Summer's Coming, But...

Have I mentioned that I LOVE being a teacher? It is one of my greatest blessings and joys. It fills me with purpose and happiness every day! I especially love that I've been teaching long enough now to SEE the people "my babies" are growing up to be. The past few days I've opened my mailbox to discover graduation announcements from former students. What a thrill! And last week, I was lucky enough to be the guest of a former student at his honor banquet. I was blown away that the sweet little boy I remembered actually still remembered ME.

Why God Made Teachers
By Kevin William Huff


When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world
And truly comprehend
The beauty and the wonder
Of everything we see,
And become a better person
With each discovery.

When God created teachers,
He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow
So we can all decide
How to live and how to do
What's right instead of wrong,
To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.

Why God created teachers,
In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world
A better, wiser place.


Such a great reminder of WHY we do what we do each day. Summer is coming and it makes me a little sad...seriously. Have I mentioned that I LOVE being a teacher? :)
