What brought you joy today?

God and prayer!

We could sure more teachers today with that same mindset. Preparing others for their future and putting them by name in the presence of our Lord.

My son sent me some pics of the changing colors of the Front Range outside of Denver

1. In the middle of reading a series of 14 books. I just finished number 4. I love finding a new cozy mystery series!
2. My cat. He is so happy when I spend the whole day at home.

Thank you for your kind words and good wishes. On the last day of school for all of my classes through the years I would tell my students that they were in a special group, “my former students.” Because of this status they would be prayed for every day.

So beautifully said! I was also a teacher for 35 years and I can identify lifting all of my past students up to God. Wishing you complete healing.

I had my first sip of coffee this morning and experienced joy. The tree outside my window represents all the students I ever taught (fifty years) and I lift them up to God. They are a beautiful comfort to me during my cancer journey, three years so far and on chemo weekly. I love trees and the creatures that live in them. I have dedicated trees for all my family members as well…I am surrounded by love and beauty.

Hello from Jerry,Had my left hip replaced on 9/04. Today no cane no pain.

When I used to take prednisone I not only couldn’t sleep a wink, but I shook like crazy, heart palpitated and I felt horrible. My pulmonologist switched me to methylprednisolone and I didn’t have those issues but it was just as effective. Even though similar meds, he said people tend to tolerate one better than the other — different for each person. He was right! If it’s too late to switch this time, write down the name to try next time you need it. Hope that change works for you too.
