I took a deep breath as I pulled into the parking lot of the school where I teach.
Eight weeks of being homebound had torn away a lot of my self-confidence, and the thought of walking into my school carrying a pillow to sit on didn't help much either.
As I walked from the parking lot to the school, I began hearing, "Hi, Mrs. Nischan," from student after student as they were getting off of school buses.
My heart grew a little lighter.
Entering the building, our assistant principal said, "Get over here," as he gave him a welcoming hug..........
In my classroom, a stack of notes from cards and teachers covered my desk, and I was overwhelmed with love as teachers came by my room to say welcome back and hug me.
I smiled as I thought of how each student and each teacher had made a difference in my first day back at work ,and I was reminded that I have the choice to be that "ONE PERSON" to someone else with every step I take in life.
So do you.
Today, I pray that as you venture here and there that you will remember that, yes, you are only one person, but YOU have the power to make a SIGNIFICANT difference in the lives of those you touch.
Thank you for praying for me yesterday.
I love you all so much!
Tonight, I'll share the funny memories of yesterday!
God bless each of you in a very special and unique way,

WOW! "I made a difference to that one!" That will stick with me for quite awhile! What a special place God has called you to -
Such a wonderful group of kids and co-workers! So glad it was a good day. Hope you are feeling ok. Soon, everyone will want to bring a pillow to sit on...you just might have started something big:)
Glad that you are back :)
"Going Beyond" is our church's motto/slogan. We are trying to stay conscious of the fact that we have something to offer (the Love of God) and it will make a huge difference to someone, even though whatever we may do or say does not seem big to us.
Hoping to make a difference!!!
