Well...hey everyone. Not sure about this but my sister says I am going to be famous. After weeks of trying to think of a perfect name for my blog, I realize that I do most of my thinking in two places...in the bathroom while I am blow drying my hair and when I am in my backyard. I am sure it comes as no surprise if you know me. I am the most random person in the world. Seriously though, I am passionate about my yard. It is my place to be still. I love planting flowers. If you want to know the truth of the matter...God speaks to me in my backyard. So, Backyard Reflections it is:)
I hope to brighten your day a bit with the thoughts in my head. At least a chuckle maybe from time to time and at times maybe even a tear. Grab you a kleenex for this one.
Tough day. It just hits me so hard sometimes that love alone cannot save some kids. I have been teaching for 14 years and had several foster children in my classroom. I just want that happy ending one time. I honestly do not know what to do to help these kids. You just think you are messed up...I'd like to be in charge of the future of the ones who harmed them. These kids get in my head. Trouble just keeps finding them. Bus issues under control. Stealing again today. I am not a fan of stealing but what a twist of a story about a child caught. True story went like this the other day...Teacher: "Why did you take the stuff from my classroom?" child: "I was just going to use it so I could play school." Makes your heart ache. I do not understand why these children have to suffer abuse and lose trust in everyone. Why a child stiffens when you give them a hug. Why the words I love you come as a big surprise...it just makes no sense to me.
Saturday will bring sunshine and planting flowers...gerbera daisies and new guinea imps on the list....awaiting His whisper. Come sit on my porch friends...
