Right now a pony tailed girl is cutting, taping, painting and turning a couple of 2 liter soda bottles into the shell of a rocket. A white rocket with hot pink and neon green markings. Of course.
She has pages of instructions she's following all on her own. She has a smile on her face. Her hands have a steady confidence. Her heart is full of hope-filled wonder.
This is the same girl who pulled the covers over her head and told me she was done with school just 7 months ago.
That was before Mrs. L's class.
I posted about Mrs. L. before but I can't let this school year come to a close without paying tribute to this woman I will remember for a very long time. The influence and impact she's had on my daughter's life is nothing short of beautiful.
When Ashley felt she couldn't, Mrs. L. assured her she could.
When Ashley's efforts fell short, Mrs. L. taught her gaps can be filled.
When Ashley's heart started tilling seeds of failure, Mrs. L. pulled them up by the roots.
When Ashley had but a spark of success, Mrs. L. fanned it into a burning passion for learning.
Thank you Mrs. L. You did more than a good job. You helped shape a life.
Two plastic soda bottles... $3
A Can of White Spray Paint... $5.50
Pink and green neon duct tape... $8
A girl transformed into a rocket scientist... priceless.
I wonder how God might use each of us today to be His voice of truth, compassion, encouragement, assurance, grace, and a love quite priceless.
