One Thousand Gifts (continued)

"Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered" (Proverbs 11:25-26 ESV).

The birthday chair.  
Whenever it's a student's birthday, they stand on the birthday chair and someone places their hand on them to bless them as the class sings the birthday song and the blessing song.
She stands there being blessed, but it is she who is the blessing.
She has blessed so many children (and parents) in so many ways over the years! 
She is such a blessing to our school.  She is fun-loving, sincere, and so filled with the Holy Spirit, which is evident in her words and actions.  She is such a beautiful woman inside and outside!  
What an inspiration to us!  How are we being a blessing to others?
We love you, Mrs. T!  Happy Birthday!

How cool that you get to be involved in the adoptive/foster groups. So many rich experiences that I'll bet you never dreamed of when we were in high school! :)
(I'll have to get some hair lessons again. Deborah's is so cute!)
