I love my job, but sometimes I don't let it love me back!

As I sit here I should be marking books, yet instead I'm listening to the exciteable chatter of students outside my room!  I love my job, but I think more than that I love the kids I get to teach everyday!

I love their joy when the learn something new,
I love their enthusiasm for some new topic
I love the way they ask about partner dancing lesson and grown when I say thanks for reminding me!!  Even through they secretly enjoy it!
I love their smiles, their thank yous, (even if not as often as I might like :0) )
And I love my work mates

BUT

Sometimes it is hard work, in fact most of the time it is pretty busy something always pops up, and it's so hard to let things go, to not wake up in the middle of the night remembering something I was meant to have done.

I don't let it love me back I guess means I don't take the time to think about what went well.

The sucesses, the triumphs, even the challenges overcome tend to be over shadowed by the next thing that has to be completed.

So I guess todays the day I am going to stop and take the time to let my job love me back!

The rewards are worth the time and effort, the sucesses are worth celebrating, and I'm grateful for the support my family and my father in heaven give me everyday to get through to the next!

Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
