Tender Mercy #11

I'll let you in on a little secret-Christmas has never really been my thing, but this year it has been different. Being surrounded by children has been a tender mercy to allow me a reminder of the magic of Christmas. Childhood loves Christmas in a way that is impossible for an adult.

I can't begin to tell you the excitement that has been felt at school lately. Talk of Santa Claus, singing Christmas songs, and Christmas parties have occupied this week. As we have gotten closer and closer to Christmas, the excitement has increased. With all their excitement, I've found myself looking forward to Christmas.

I'm grateful for my students and how they remind me of what's really important.
