Happy news
It is always a wonderful thing to pray with someone to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. I've witnessed, and prayed for opportunities, but it has been a long since I've led someone to the Lord. That is, a long time until this week. Friday after a chapel message, two of my second grade students came to me as told me they wanted to be saved. We prayed together and each of them had a glow and an excitement for the rest of the day.
That was wonderful. Then, another child came to me that same afternoon and wanted to accept Jesus as well. I can't judge these students, and I can't determine their hearts, but I pray that the soil was rich, and ready, and the seed that was planted will grow.
May I show them Christ as I should. Three new brother and sisters in Christ! :) A time for rejoicing.

Tea Rooms
Since our family is spreading out, and my sister and I are some distance from our parents, any visit together is wonderful. This weekend, my mom and sister, Meg met halfway from their homes to come visit me in Eastern NC. They visited my school, met my students, and saw my classroom. We spent time visiting and talking, enjoying the first meal I'd cooked for them in my "own household." Since the coast is only 2 hours away we took off together for Wilmington, NC.
When my sister got married, her rehearsal dinner meal was in a lovely Tea Room (English Country Tea Room in Greenville, SC) they are no longer in business, and the meal was more catered than a "Tea" but it was a beginning for us. When our parents visited my sister's in-laws, my mom was taken to a Tea Room in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. My sister has been able to visit a few other Tea Rooms with friends. For Mother's Day a few years ago, we went to a Mother/Daughter High Tea at my sister's church. Now Saturday, February 27th, we as mom and daughters, visited the Wilmington Tea Room. Proper serving, sharing treats, and tea. We enjoyed our brew on the boardwalk on a beautiful sunny day.
We have now set an official tradition. Whenever possible, we will try to go to a Tea. There is a Tea Room not far from our mom's work, so maybe we will go this summer. We'll see where else we get to go...
