There have been so many
things bombarding me lately that have to do with my impact on the lives of my
students. I also within the last week
watched Mona Lisa Smiles. A school teacher poured her life into the
college students she taught, and the movie showed the impact she had on
them. This summer, I watched Emperor’s
Club. It was about a teacher and the
impact a teacher had particularly on one young boy. The teacher did not know the impact he had on
the young boy until the boy was older and told him so. The grown man even asked his teacher why he
never gave up on him.
My perspective has
changed my life. I’m not totally changed
yet because I haven’t been told I have Lou Gehrig’s disease. I enjoy seeing a chipmunk at school that I
named “Dasher.” I watch him dash in and
out of his hole in the ground and scamper around. I gather him acorns and leave it by his hole. Just watching God’s creation at work brings
me peace and tranquility.
I sat on my front porch
again the other night and felt the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart, but I did
not hear Him say anything. I just felt
my heart pounding. Maybe it was because
I finally sat and listened, something I do not do much at all.
