5 Pennies - Day 208

1. Bought 'Earth Day' stickers for another teacher
              So the one science teacher is really a wonderful person. She does so many great things for the school and the kids really do respond to her well. She even has this nice group of kids that meet after school and plan environmental activities. Her group has recently really started to promote the recycling activities within our school and community. Since Earth Day is vastly approaching, I wanted to do something nice for her. So when I saw these stickers, I knew exactly who they needed to belong to.

2. Held the door open for another group of teachers
            It was morning, cold, and a slight wisp of flurries in the air. They had their hands full and it was the least that I could do.

3. Wrote a 'Thank You' note to another music teacher
            I really appreciated that he let me borrow his music DVDs to explain and showcase the Jazz music that I've been talking about in class to my students. It was a great resource to have and use.

4. Helped an elderly lady at church
            So before service tonight, I over heard an elderly lady talking to the Pastor about how she went to the hospital earlier that day to get some routine blood work done. She truly is a saint in the church and happily shares her wealth of God's love with everyone. So as she talked she started to complain about how she couldn't get the hospital's wrist band off. She rarely complains about anything, so I knew that this cuff was really bothering her. I simply went to the church's office got a pair of scissors and took care of the problem for her. Instantly, the smile returned back to her face. She has a lovely smile.

5. Helped a disabled person receive communion at church
             He wasn't for sure where to stand, what to do, or what to say. So I whispered to him to just imitate what I did. He modeled all of my gestures and did a wonderful job. You could tell that he was very proud of himself because it was the first time that he took communion independently. It was nice to help him.
