with thanksgiving

I was sitting at my desk in our crazy Hub just now, having been hard at work for a few hours on preparing to teach. I was reading a book that dealt with the importance of imagination in inspiring people. I had my headphones on, the world shut out - when a line of 8 3-year-olds burst in, faces all smiling, hair glittering with tinsel, singing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" to me (it's a MOPS day at New Hope). Call me a sap, but it was beautiful I almost cried. Talk about inspiration! They made my day.
