I received a very sweet and unexpected birthday surprise Tuesday morning. When I arrived early to set up, I found the seminary room decorated with tons of balloons and streamers. The chalkboards were also covered with love notes and drawings from the students. I was completely taken aback by the students' thoughtfulness. It made me feel so good!!!
When the students arrived, they brought cake and cards. They sang to me too! My favorite part of the morning though, was that some of the students hugged me and told me they loved me - even the boys! I still can't get over it. What a memorable birthday!

They DO love you, Audrey. You are making a difference in many lives. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteI taught 5 years and never had that experience, although I'm pretty sure MOST of my students loved me, and all knew I loved them. This is a rare thing for teenagers to do. You are blessed, and are a blessing for them. Take all that good will and run with it! Christmas season in Seminary is a very special time.
