I'm glad for the coordination of muscles that allows me to type this list, to walk to school, talk with my students, and give them hugs.
Today I'm also glad for:
sunrises and the sky as it appears through trees at morning;
common brown kites;
my forgetful brain, because when it's not making me cry, it makes me laugh.....
As a teacher, I'm blessed enough to wake up each morning knowing Who my Teacher is, and that I get to spend all day with my bright, creative, interesting students. I also get to work with an excellent co- and head teacher, Dalyne, with whom I pray and laugh daily through the joys and pains that are working with young minds.
And the greatest blessing today is the community that God is connecting me with as I work with Him here in Africa. But it's not just a connection to Africa that I'm gaining, it's a connection to the rest of this world as well.
