MAY 8, 2009
School always seems to move fast in May—and it’s true here also. We’re all busy with progress reports for the mid-nine-week grade. The students in my classes have been reciting poetry—“The Road Not Taken” for the 9th graders/ that one and “Mending Wall” for the 11th graders/ and “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” for the 12th graders. I truly enjoy hearing all those poems from students—some of them really got dramatic with their presentations!
I am very grateful for the comments to the blog—and yes, Brother Joe! I am a detail person—unfortunately, it’s usually too much detail! And my daughters often say, “Mom…get on with the story!”
I am especially grateful for the compliment from my anonymous commenter. And also for the encouragement to continue to learn about the situation in this country—I do know there are people who cannot travel about in this country. I’ve been privileged to talk with several of my students who are in that situation. I am very blessed to have spent this time in Jerusalem and to have formed lasting relationships with some incredibly wonderful people. I pray that all that I have experienced will be used according to the purposes of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your prayers, emails, cards and encouraging words. I pray this Mother’s Day is a blessing to each of you…I will miss being with my family. We have some really special memories from times spent on Mother’s Day. My daughters, Melissa and Holly, and my granddaughter Maegan are the source of great joy in my life…I thank God every day for the blessings of those girls.
Please continue to pray for me, my family and Jerusalem School.
Love
Beth

Happy Mother's Day to you Beth......from one mother to another. I hope you will continue to educate when you go back to America.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day. I know I am busted having used you as sermon illustration material. You know I love you and am proud of you. I was going to confess my own sins but there are tattle tales out there that didn't let me (ha). I owe you $5 or lunch when you get back. Bro. Joe
ReplyDeleteBeth, I think I would let Bro. joe buy lunch - don't know what for but surely it is worth more than $5.00!! Your sister looking out for you! I've missed you this Mother's Day but thankfully the 9th grade prom was last night and we got to enjoy pictures of the princess!! love you... sue
