A Piece of Chocolate.

Today my teacher handed out a piece of chocolate to each student in the class while whispering, "This is from Ms. Teddy..." Immediately after she whispered these words I heard one, "Thank you, Ms. Teddy!" after another. So sweet. After the thank you's about 6 six of my students ran up to give me a hug - just for bringing them one little piece of chocolate! For about 30 seconds they were about to lose their mind...all over a piece of chocolate. I kind of loved it. For a few split seconds their faces lit up. For a few split seconds I hope they realized how much I care for them and more importantly, how much the God of the Universe delights in their being. If only I could get across to them how Loved they truly are...more than just a yummy piece of chocolate...so much more...

Lord please use me. Please, Lord. I ask that Your Holy Spirit be thick in this 4th grade classroom. Lord, please. Use me. Father I pray Your desires would become my heart's desires. Father I will claim You each morning as Lord over my life. I will glorify Your Name and will share Your love with my students - now and forever. Let it be.
