31...

This morning I woke up and read Romans 3. It was a good chapter to read before going back to school this week. It reminded me that we are all sinful people and I can't expect perfection in myself or those around me. It was so good for me to be reminded of this. Romans 3:22b-25a  "For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith."

I'm so thankful for justification and forgiveness. It sure makes living this life better. So, looking at my class, I will begin with my first students. I will refer to her as "I". She is a second grade student that is full of energy and life. She always has a smile on her face, unless of course she is frustrated by math or involved in some sort of drama at recess. She makes me laugh with her little comments during class. I'm glad that she is in my class. Without the dynamic of this giant personality in my class, my class wouldn't be as enjoyable or smiley :-)

31 days and counting...
