I have finished my ten things early today! It is easy to get a head start when you are stuck in the snow and have no where to go. I have 22 days left. I was number 22 in Mrs.Palmer's class in fifth grade. I don't remember if we were numbered by the order we were in on her list of names or if it was our desk number. She was my favorite school teacher.
She was older and she could be very strict but I knew she cared about us and our future.She would walk up and down the rows to see what we were doing and if we were on task. If you weren't she would let you know. I got in trouble quite a few times. I had a problem with talking excessively. On every report card I had from grade school through high school it says "Talks too Much" ! or "Talks excessively"!. If God would have given me a word limit for the day I would have exceeded it. I got in more trouble for that than anything.I don't know why I could not keep my mouth shut.
She took us to the opera house in Seattle to listen to a symphony. I had never heard anything like that before and I loved it. She also took us to a museum over in Seattle, it made history more interesting and my fascination with learning about other cultures began then. There were many things she taught us. She had a way of making our world seem a lot bigger and she also had a way of pushing us out of our comfort zone. I still remember the poem I had to recite in front of the class.That was terrifying. Getting up in front of the class was about the same as asking me to walk a plank with my hands tied behind my back. I will never forget her:)
With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. EPHESIANS 3:20
