blessing of a life

i live a good life.  a life full of wonderful people.  i love my students.  i ponder what good i can do for them every day...and night....and weekend....i really adore them.  i was blessed today to have everything fall together to do reader's theater with them beginning today.  I have the "low" reading group.  and when they walk in, they look as if they would rather die.  until we got out the beautiful scripts.  and made a big deal about them.  and i read to them first.  then they were all ready to go.  and...suddenly...reading came alive.  i love that moment.  i want to see them fly.  to be able to read and comprehend and enjoy.  for if there is not enjoyment in reading, then it's just a burden.  it was a blessing also because those beautiful scripts were an amazing, unexpected surprise.  i was going to print some online ones.  and then....then, someone from my school pointed to her top shelf and said that i could use the box of scripts.  wonderful scripts. colorful.  the kids were saying, "can we do it again?"  and all i can think is that i can't imagine any better way to teach them. 
then i come home to my own kids.  and that just blesses me too.  they walk with me in my heart everywhere i go.  i feel what they are going through and what they hope for.  i pray for them.  laugh with them.  cry for them. 
i am so unbelievably blessed.  i like being able to breathe.  to see the beauty.  to revel.  life is good.
blessings.
