The Fall 2015 semester began yesterday. I enjoyed seeing both new and former students return to our classrooms. Our shiny, new cafeteria is open for business and people are, once again, sitting around the tables in the lunchroom area.
Some of my favorite people returned to campus: my own mentor, Kathy, and an Education Professor I adore, Christine.
My oldest son and his fiancé decided to pop in and we found one another up in the hallway above the library. They had run into some other students from their local high school. We chatted and I invited them to see my office.
Christine had been my future daughter-in-law's favorite professor when she (B) studied here before transferring to a 4-year school to continue her studies. They ran into one another and B had the chance to show off her ring and share the wedding plans.
Christine stopped down to see me later...simply to share in the excitement over the engagement. She shared praises for "the kids" and most importantly, words of encouragement.
This was exactly what I needed.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits” (Proverbs 18:21)
Lord, thank you for Christine. And B. And J.
