Beauty

Wow! I’ve been back home in Haiti for eight weeks now and I haven’t blogged once. Sorry about that!

First of all, I need to say a huge thank you to all of you who support me on a monthly basis and those who gave special gifts to get me here. I am happy to say that I am 100% funded until June of 2019! That means that any gifts given now help me stay here longer. J

Yesterday and today are Cowman's days of Fall Break and I had the oppurtunity to go on a long hike with a good group friends. It was beautiful and I wanted to share some of the beauty in my life with you. 

According to dictionary.com beauty is "the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether from sensory manifestations, a meaningful design, or something else." 

Here is where I find beauty in my life...

I find beauty in a classroom set up using hand-me-downs from my mom's old preschool and from special gifts from loving friends.

I find beauty in rehabilitation. 

I find beauty in a happy, loud, smart first grade classroom. 

I find beauty in birthdays. And lots of them!

I find beauty in God's protection from hurricanes. 

I find beauty in "Look Miss Kacie! Look what we made!" 

I find beauty in my girls who visit and help me whenever they can. 

I find beauty in my big kids helping my little kids learn to read. 

I find beauty in the sunrise.

I find beauty in nature. 

I find beauty in friends. 

I thank God for all of the beauty found in my life and for each of you that has helped me get this far. Thank you! ~
