Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’ve been feeling a little discouraged at school lately. I was really not looking forward to yesterday. It was a half day and the day before Thanksgiving vacation. The kids would be crazy!

The school day started with chapel. This was the verse the pastor shared during the message:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

It was exactly what I needed to hear. I had to turn away from the student sitting next to me so she wouldn’t see my watery eyes.

After chapel, I had the best class periods I’ve had all year. It was wonderful. I am thankful.

It even snowed a little yesterday.  It was beautiful!

    …and God comes through again. Why are we always a little amazed when He answers a prayer just the way we needed Him to!? Congratulations on your great (half) day. And blessed TG Day today, sir. Hope you will be spending it with some dear to you. We’re planning on helping serve a meal in SW Balto. – first efforts for us. Praying for no spills, sneezes or hair in the gravy, if you catch the general idea there.

    Dang it, Brad, why you gotta make me emotional? That was beautiful.

    I hope your day is relaxing and full of joy and naps!
