Going back to kindergarten

Last week I started my new job with the Blue Valley school district.  I am working with 6 different autistic children.  I work with these kids in their typical classroom with their peers.  It has been so fun.  I forgot how much I enjoyed kindergarten.  I still remember my classmates, teacher, and good times had there. 

 Hanging out in a kindergarten class all day has really given me a new energy.  I leave school feeling excited and like I've really done something meaningful.  I hope that I continue to love this job.  I know God has me here for a reason and I'm thankful for what he has given me.

I love getting to know the little people in the class.  I also love how they are so welcoming and willing to help with all the special needs kids.  I think it's very important to expose children to their special needs peers at an early age.  Kindergartners are still so innocent and accepting of everyone.  I wish I was still like that! 

Lord, 

I pray you give me the eyes to see people like a kindergartner.  I pray you give me the heart of acceptance and joy like a kindergartner.  

Amen
