As a young educator ( yes, lacking so much experience) I often have the same sentiments...I try to remember that aside from content that we must get through to fulfill our vocation in the classroom...we must always remember as Christians that the most important seeds we plant in these impressionable minds are of love. They learn much more from who we are than what we teach. I am sure you do your fair share of planting some wonderful seeds :) blessings to you!

And yes, I think some of us also sense and pick up on the moods of others, though whether this is a natural gift (curse) or by some design of God for certain times, I just don't know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345109353301543637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418067986039614257.post-74980294628843160272013-01-29T14:25:29.165-05:002013-01-29T14:25:29.165-05:00Both, probably, but this stuff about being the Bod...Both, probably, but this stuff about being the Body of Christ where we live? I think it's true. And just as Jesus knew when power went out of him, you know by walking into a classroom that things are just a bit off, so I'm never surprised when we are conscious of the "heaviness of spirit" that is part of the atmosphere in which we move.Shannonhttp://www.findinggracewithin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418067986039614257.post-14145960783378939882013-01-29T05:07:27.808-05:002013-01-29T05:07:27.808-05:00Shannon: Thank you.

Or do you mean the reality in front of me in the classroom?

One is from Oscar Romero, one of my favorite prayers: http://www.worldwideopen.org/en/resources/detail/833#.UQeCHPKzn1o<br /><br />The other is this: sometimes our moods are not so much personal as they are a reflection of what is going on in the world.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270396127498411004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418067986039614257.post-44426314601212704842013-01-28T22:08:39.202-05:002013-01-28T22:08:39.202-05:00So sad.
