Wearing gloves, my little students removed seeds from the sunflower heads grown by last years Kindergarten children. Tomorrow we are using the seeds to fill our new classroom birdfeeder. My students are very excited.
As I watched my little charges work together this afternoon, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of statisfaction. My students were doing something useful and it made them happy. I did not need to "invent" something exciting to do. A necessary job brought them genuine pleasure.
How wonderful to delight in small tasks well done. What a blessing it is to think about what we could all learn from the small ones in our lives.
Tonight and always I wish you all the kind of joy I saw today. May you be blessed.
