Lunch

I have a handful of amazing students. One of them came in to school today, ready to do whatever he could to help me get my classroom ready. And he did a lot.

"I need you to take those posters down, move this filing cabinet over to that corner, go through this box of crap and decide what's useful and what's not, organize all these books and somehow get them all into this undersized cabinet, find all my dictionaries and put them on an empty shelf together somewhere, take these fake weapons to the props closet, gather up all the Christmas decorations and shove them somewhere out of sight, dust the tops of the bookshelves, take out the recycling, and what do you want for lunch?"

Of course I bought him lunch... he did all those things and probably a few more. I feel so blessed.

And yet, I still have a million things to do that take SO MUCH TIME.

And then I think about people who have no jobs, who are losing their jobs, who hate their jobs.

I love my job. Thanks, Jesus.

Worry is easy; trust is difficult.
