"The parable of the Ten Coins suggests that we are called to fidelity in littleness, the ordinary."
Sr. Meg Funk, "Give Us This Day"
For some reason I've noticed that Wednesdays are my trickiest days at school. I'm not sure why, exactly, and I don't really need to know. All I need to do is open myself up to God working through me from the minute I walk into the school. Talk about littleness and the ordinary! A small school in Boise seems both of those. But I know better! I know that each one of these kids is a beloved child of God and God desires nothing more than for them to be loved as they deserve to be loved. And I have been hand-picked to do this. As the wet sneezes spray forth at the reading group table, I am to gently offer a tissue instead of shuddering and withering as the germs assail me! I CAN do this with love because God loves through me. God has called me to love, not teach, but to love and, if they learn a little something in the process, all the better! So, no matter the littleness of the tasks we have on our calendar today. They are all critically important in God's eyes and only we can do them...with God's help! Love, heidi
