Dear God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

Please be with me as I teach these precious children. Please let them see YOU through me.

Thank you for the sixty children I get to be with and share your love with everyday.

Love,

your child

P.S. Thank you for the sunny days too! :)

My students aren't stir-crazy anymore.

Dear rain,

I have a bone to pick with you. Waking up to the sound of you is great. And I know that you do many great things for this precious Earth. But...

You don't do nice things for my hair, clothes, work bags, lunch, and shoes. Walking outside this morning to my load my car wasn't too fun. Couldn't you just stop for five minutes so I could load my car? And then picked back up...but then stopped again when I arrived at school? Is that too much to ask?

Also, you really make my students crazy. It's like they've never seen you. I'm just asking that you only come between the hours of 2:45 and 5:30pm and 8:30 until 4:30am. Thank you very much.

Love,
