Sick but grateful

 I am determined this 2024 to list all the blessings that God has given me this year.  Yesterday I was sick and slept a lot.  But I am thankful for a day off and the time to recover.  I am determined to list my blessings.

Yesterday one of my students was really having a hard time.  He escaped several times out of the room.  Then he was flipping out because he did not get to see the movie he wanted to see.  It was just a ploy to get what he wanted.  But we got some help.  It was not necessary the help that we wanted but it made perfect sense.  

Last four days

 It has been a roller coaster of  events these last few days.  But so many blessings

Finding a new Santa.  God gives us what we ask sometimes.  Having a child make good choices and give you a hug with a rascal you have worked hard with these last few years in church.  Having lessons that are fun and kids are interested in.  Giving gifts that make people happy.  

Blessings

 Yesterday I connected with a friend. I was able to encourage and pray for her.  I am seeing her in a week for lunch.

I also saw a young eagle in the sky.  it was I am seeking God for his and my attention.  

This morning I was able to get an idea for one of my rascals.  I am thankful for my mom

Sunday, Monday

Yesterday I went to big people's church.  It went okay.  I was mostly numb with no expectations.  I was even able to worship and enjoy the service.

Today we had three teachers out.  God was faithful and things went well.  I am thankful for good subs and that God had his hand on the class. 

Reflections of Blessings

 I am fully aware you grow through struggles.  This has been one of those weeks.  But I am also seeing the hand of God in my life.  I have been able to ask for forgiveness even though the situation was not my fault and to not argue with things I did not agree with but stand up for what I thought was right. I can't change others but I can change myself. 

Backfire of an Idea

 I have learned that even though I defended a idea I knew would not work I am at the point where nothing is changing so I am making the choice to let an idea backfire.  I need to do that with some people at my job that are toxic and also my husband.  It is so easy to try to fix it all.  I am at the point I can't so I am just letting life hit where it may.  But through it all I am so thankful to God how He is building me up for the next thing.
