Shared Blessings

May 2, 2012 by Amelia

*You still have time to enter the give away for a copy of “Do These Jeans Make Me Look Fat? Breaking the Cultural Mirror.” Enter on this post!

It’s the week for give aways! I’m over at Circle of Friends today talking about some books I recently picked up that I love, and Circle of Friends is giving away FOUR copies of a great book. (Warning, Mom, you might not want to go there….it will spoil a surprise…)

———-

“Hello?…Hello?…”

I didn’t recognize the local number on my phone, and while I heard voices in the background, no one responded. I nearly hung up, but then I heard a sweet voice I would recognize in a choir of thousands.

“Mama? You forgot to put my lunch in my backpack.” My first grader was calling from her classroom. The voice in the background had been her teacher prompting her to start talking.

“I did? I am so sorry! I thought for sure it was in your backpack.” I looked around the corner, and sure enough, there sat the pink lunchbox by the front door.

“Are you going to bring it when you come to help the class this morning?”

“I certainly will, sweetie!”

I heard her teacher in the background saying, “Make sure you tell her thank you.”

“Thank you, Mama! Love you!”

“Love you too, honey.”

My kids have been blessed with two phenomenal teachers this year who have a solid faith in God, and are making a difference in our school. Read the rest at Circle of Friends today!
