Goodness

January 16, 2009 by Debbie.

Don’t you just love days (weeks, months, years???) when the goodness of God just overwhelms you? I’ve sat down three times to share about yesterday and words just don’t come. Tears, yes, but no coherent sentences.

Of course, since this is me we’re talking about not being coherent doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I told someone I put my name back on the sub-teachers list because I feel like I’ve lost touch, that I want some lessons in social graces. Here at home I used the wrong words for things but John knows what I’m saying and we go on. I knew when I used the word ‘tapes’ for dvds with someone and got such a blank stare and response of “Uh, we don’t do cassette tapes any more” that I need help.

That’s why I ended up in the midst of the goodness of God yesterday. I got called in for my first time back to subbing and rushed into the class room just minutes ahead of the second graders. It’s been 10 years since I’ve subbed so it took a few minutes to settle in …. few minutes??  Thank God the teacher was organized and excellently prepared! I looked over the lesson plans and then just jumped in. This is where I lose the words …. I can’t begin to describe how wonderfully amazing yesterday was.  If the tears stop and the words come I’ll continue this later.
