Teacher Appreciation Week and Autumn's Last Day at Timberline

Well, this is how it has been.  A couple hours of a day of nice weather with some sun.  Next day, back to cloudy and rain.  Grass has never been greener, though.


On Thursday, we had artichokes.  Yum!


And for dessert, strawberry shortcake!  Strawberries were on sale for $1.29 which is super cheap for us so I snatched up six containers!


A little break in the clouds at the end of a long, dreary day.


Getting stocked up on my summer reading.


More rain.  All. Friday. Long.


Little surprises from Miss Toni for Teacher Appreciation Week. :)


Blueberry muffins with a Starbucks gift card.


New pen.

Wesley, one of my Friday kids, gave me these beautiful flowers and a personalized key ring. :)


Abigail and Ethan gave me chocolates and a $20 gift card to Starbucks. :)


Addison gave me these roses. :)


Video of the pouring rain all day Friday. :(


On Friday, May 6th, Autumn worked her last day at her part-time job at Timberline Academy.  She worked her junior year there cleaning for the academy and preschool every school day.  It was a great opportunity for her and I'm grateful for it.  She was able to work and carpool with her cousin, Kylee, which was nice as well!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
