A Funny Story

During Bible Class.....

Me: ___________ Whats the most important book in the whole world?

Adorable Little Boy: Scooby Doo

Hmmmm.....Not exactly what I was looking for. LOL

There is never a dull moment with children and I love every minute of it!!!

Sisters!

A rainy day.

"So....mom, do you think it would be possible for us to wash our hair in the rain?" *Smile* That was me and Carole tonight, coming home from Wal-mart with jugs of water in the trunk of our car. Aaron just about thought we were nuts as we started laughing, imagining ourselves singing in the rain, fully clothed, with shampoo running down on our faces.

Well, you will be happy to know we were only half kidding. But the other half was not all too thrilled knowing the water supply in our house had come to a stop. The time of year for cold weather is coming once again and the way things are looking now, our well was just frozen. Thankfully we keep an electric heater in our well (not in the water) for just this purpose. All this talk may be lost on my city folk readers, but, if I have some mountain peeps you will all feel my pain when I say having a well is not always fun!

The shower is now going and the faucet has water. So we may not look like some sad raggedy people walking into church tomorrow. Thank goodness!!!:)

We went yardsaling today in our rainy state but I am afraid the drippy mess was just not yardsaling weather. So we did not do that great at all. Although Carole found a Melissa and Doug wooden planner for preschoolers:) For 50 cents and all the pieces came with it. I did find a novel at the thrift store for two dollars and seventy five cents. It's a Christian novel by Lynn Austin. Hopefully I will get myself to just sit down and read it!!

Well, I guess I need to get off. It's getting late. Have a great Sunday!

Well they say honesty is the best policy

Feeling refreshed after a nice snack and watching the kids run around with the other elementary grades in the gym for fifteen minutes or so, I was pumped and ready for a fresh and exciting class of phonics.

I had my flash cards on the board and before we got into the wonderful world of vowels we were going to go over the two vowels we have been studying. The children are sitting nice and straight after I gave them the pep talk. "We had our break and now we are going to explore the world of phonics." They were now excited and started saying with me as I pointed to "I" "Capital I little i. I says ...i...i...i as in Indian I says...i...i...i While we were doing our little chant I noticed one of my students (a little girl) chewing something as she rattled off our ditty.

"__________ What's in your mouth?" Little girl "Gum." My "teacher-y look" came out on my face. "And where did you get the gum?" Silence. "Did somebody give it to you?" She shook her head no. "Well then, where did you get it?" In her sweet, adorable, little voice she said... "Under my chair." *GAG* After I rushed over to my desk and grabbed a tissue like there was no tomorrow and told her to take the gum out of her mouth. I tried not to say "Ewww" again and changed our vowel lesson to how we don't want germs in our bodies.

Later on I just couldn't let the issue leave my mind so we took a few minutes to talk about how germs are bad and we need to prevent getting them. A little boy gave me an example (Yes,the same one who called me old!) Like licking the bottoms of our shoes....

Help me! Yes...I am the germafobic who doesn't touch public door handles, who has a mini stroke shaking the hand of someone I don't know and who tries very hard to keep some sort of Germx type bottle in my purse or at least a tissue to hold the handle. They will know Miss._______ means business when they each find a box of Clorox wipes in their desk next week.:)

Sorry just a tease

I really need to head to bed I mean reallllllly!!! It's twenty minutes before midnight and six will come awfully early tomorrow morning!!

But I just wanted stop by to tell everyone I haven't forgot you. I am hoping this weekend I will be able to write some posts that have been in my mind that are just aching to appear on my blog.

Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. I need to give a special shout out to Mackenzie for redoing my blog. Also a special thank you to my personal photographer and sister Carole who took my new profile picture!

Well, nightie night!!!

Thankfulness

Riding home from church tonight I was texting a friend thanking her for a surprise I found in my pew when I got to church.All of a sudden the car jerked. My family was home sick and only my dad and myself were in the car. I looked up quickly while the car screeched and I screamed.

I seriously thought I had texted my last text, I had gone to my last church service, I had seen my family for the last time on this earth and I was going to my heavenly home. Yes, seriously that all went through my mind. (And no, I am not a drama queen.)

I still can see that large moose at the corner of the car, his antlers illuminated from the headlights. My hand was clutching my phone as I felt my body shake uncontrollably. The moose ran into the woods as I heard my father ask me if I was okay. We started to drive again while my dad started laughing saying he had never seen such a big one.

It's a funny thing though, I was planing on writing a story about something funny that happened in my classroom the other day, but I felt this was a tad bit more important.

It happened so quickly and even though a million thoughts went through my mind in those fleeting seconds, there was one thing I didn't even have to think about. The one thing that covered my whole being like a blanket was that I knew where I was going. I knew I had taken care of my eternity when I was a child and that if I had died tonight I know I would have been in my Saviors arms.

I really honestly have no idea who reads this blog. On my different tracking meters I see different states and countries. I can't even imagine how they found this little blog of mine. But I am glad you have. However, you may be reading this and you may be thinking I want that assurance you had Ginger, I want to know I am going to Heaven when I die.

It is so simple my bloggie friend. Jesus died for every single one of us and He wants you to come to Him. You just need to pray and ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins and ask Him to come and live in your heart. If you do that and believe that only Jesus can save you, you will be saved.

If you want to ask me something about this post or about salvation please don't hesitate to email me piecesofmyheart08@yahoo.com



Thankfulness is a funny thing it can come in a form of a basket on your pew at church or a moose in front of your car. God is good and He is watching over me!

Cute Moments

The other day I was teaching and some how the lesson was interupted (the students are experts at that) with a very interesting statement. "My mommy is old but Miss P_______ is much older."

My eyes turned as wide as saucers as I looked up from my lesson plan at the front. "I am older than your mommy?"

The adorable little blond boy gave me a wide eyed grin and with a nod of his head of assurance we started back to our lesson.
