Its the little things....

As one can probably imagine, this week has been extremely difficult.

Things that normally happen in the course of a day, take on a whole new meaning, and completely different emotional toll on you.

But what I have found to be true this week, beyond all other things, is that it is the little things people say and do that mean the most and make the biggest impact....

People I have never met praying for me, my students, and Brandi's family. How incredibly amazing is that?

Emails from forever friends, who know just what I need to hear. Thank you!

Voicemails from friends just checking on me.

Friends to go to coffee with, when you really need to be with people who know you well...and coffee is always theraputic!

But my kids, my precious kids, have blessed me tremendously....

One morning one of my first graders passed by me going to chapel, and when he was about to enter the chapel he came running back outside to give me a hug. I melted...

Another student brought me the most precious card, that happened to be inside of the cutest Longhorn purse ever!!!

The hugs, the laughter, the resiliency of their faith has blessed me....

So thanks to all of you...For reading my posts this week, I know writing about it has helped me as well. We continue to cherish your prayers for our school and the Schulle family.

Blessings to you all...

You are so special, Ashlee. I can hardly ever make it through one of your blogs without welling up.

I agree with many points. But in some areas, I feel we need to be more aggressive. Just my opinion. Love ya. gowns with sleeves Christian Louboutin Shoes Simple Wedding Dresses
