gifts

God kept me protected today as I faced my fears and drove that darn bus. And my fellow teachers were looking out for me as well, and that sure did help, too.

Also, I discovered a fun little talent today. After nearly 32 years of nothing, today I was able to win while playing one of those claw machine games. Not only that, I was able to win multiple times. I used this new-found ability to share some smiles/love. I gave away a teddy bear and two soft Reds baseballs. Unexpected little presents are always fun. And I love to give gifts. Imagine how God must feel, getting to give away stuff that is far better than a little stuffed animal or toy. Pretty amazing, when you really think about it. There are so many cool God-given gifts in this world. Some people can dance. Some can sing. Some can make us laugh. Some can write. Others are really good at calming people down. I could go on, but you get the idea.

 Not to mention the fact that he gave us the ultimate gift: His son. Which is so amazing my words could never do it justice.....
