Today was my first official day as a 4th grade teacher. This time next week, I will have completed my first "First Day of School." In our faculty meeting this morning, we were shown this video and I was so touched by the simple words. If you are like me, this you are seeing this video at the most perfect time, funny how that works isn't it? So check it out. :)
When I think about the people that have reminded me to "Keep Going," so many people come to mind. My parents, best friends, teammates, family, etc. The list is honestly endless. But then I think about the people that have no idea that they have encouraged me. It might not come in the form of the actual words "Keep Going," but in the form of any encouragement, a smile, a text message, or a note on a day when it is more needed than that person will ever know. That list is even longer and it has grown exponentially in the last few months. I am so blessed.
We all have people in our lives that are great encouragers, people that seem like they were actually put on this Earth to encourage and remind us to "Keep Going." My life is full of those people. My mom and dad are those people and not just because they are my parents and they are supposed to but because they are actually amazing encouragers and they speak so much life into the people that they come into contact with on a daily basis. I have so many more people that do this for me but if I started to list them this could get pretty long.
Those people in our lives do so much for us and the odds are that we never get the chance or just never tell them thank you or how amazing they are at what they do. Like this video says, Tell them.
"Even though the waves are bigger than our boats- the winds keep us sailing and love gives us hope."
