Breath of Heaven

I have been a little slack on the blogging. This is partly because I took a little "Internet break".

This was partly because school started back this week, and I have been busy.
And it was partly because, I am struggling and wasn't sure what I wanted to write about.
But, then it happened. Yesterday. The breath of Heaven brushed my face in such a beautiful way, I cannot describe it to you. But, I will try. I was working yesterday....can't say where or what age or anything else because of the privacy issues with teachers/students. But I can tell you about this little person. We will call him "D". He is blind. At first, I was a little taken aback. I have never worked with a child who cannot see. As I watched him though, I realized that he was beautiful. I could feel his little heart and his spirit, and it blessed me so much. I had never worked with him before, but something in him responded to something in me....and he couldn't stay away from me. He would come up and take my hands and play with my fingers and my rings. He pulled my hands onto his chest and held them there and smiled.

I was singing a song with one of the other kids, and "D" came over and took my hand and smiled as I sang. Each time I would begin singing, he would find his way back to me....and hold my hand and listen. This may all seem inconsequential to you, but it changed something inside of me. I felt grateful. Grateful that my child has no physical difficulties, grateful that my life is what it is, and that even on my worst day-at least I can see the world around me. I don't have to "feel" my way to walk around, I can just see and walk! And grateful to work with children...to be able to meet this magnificent little person. Grateful to know that I am doing exactly what I should be going, working with children and being loved (and sometimes healed) by their little sweet souls!

Thank You, Lord for breathing life into me on a very difficult day. I needed that so much, I needed You. And You were there.
