Yesterday, I was given a gift that really bless my spirit. At the preschool where I work, each one of the teachers has a mailbox that we check from time to time to see about important announcements and so forth. But anyway, when I checked mine yesterday, I had a gift waiting for me inside my mailbox. It was a candle (strawberry shortcake scent) and a card saying, "Thank You..." A fellow teacher gave it to me just to say "thank you for being you" The gift really touched my heart.
This is the front of the card. It says..."To Thank You.....Out of the abundance of a giving heart...gifts of joy.
This the inside of the card.. (Left side says: "Toia, I just wanted to say thank you for your sweet spirit and encouraging words. You brighten up the room [my classroom] that you are in. Thank You for being a light. You are a blessing.")
(Right side says: "Thinking of you and wanting you to know you're appreciated for all you are and all you do."
Picture with the card is the strawberry shortcake candle.
Something so special as this can bring you straight to tears and be such a blessing. It's important that you try to carry yourself in a Godly manner. And take the time to encourage others, make people life, and be the ray of sunshine that someone may need to get them through the day. "Let Your light shine...."
Your Sister in Christ,
Toia
"An acorn can grow into an oak tree, but it cannot become a rose bush. You will always be you — a growing, healthy you or a languishing you — but God did not create you to be anybody else. He pre-wired your temperament. He determined your natural gifts and talents. He made you to feel certain passions and desires. He planned your body and mind. Your uniqueness is God-designed." - John Ortberg
