A couple of weeks ago we didn't have school on Monday so Tuesday was our "Monday" morning! Some people would deem it as a typical Monday. I would just say it was a comedy show!
I have car rider duty from 8:00-8:30 on Monday and Tuesday morning. This means I open car doors and help kids get out of the cars. This particular week it happened to be POURING for my duty. When I got there I propped our school doors opened and set up the cones like normal. As I turned around, I noticed a dog going into the building. It took about 5 seconds for me to realize the dog was in the school. Once I realized it, I chased the dog and was able to step on the leash rather quickly. I quickly escorted the wet, hairy creature back outside. (Okay fine...the wet adorable cute dog)
Our assistant principal took dog duty over from there! My principal came out with 2 umbrellas and together we unloaded cars for about 30 minutes. My shoes were getting soaked, so I decided to go barefoot. So here I was, unloading cars, in a dress, pouring rain, and barefoot! (The assistant who was still holding the dog, thought it would be funny to take some pictures. So, here it is…me in the rain…barefoot!)
Thinking back on it, I had a God moment! Although I was wet and my feet were dirty, the rain was renewing and refreshing. The rain made me think about God's love and how it rains down on us even when we are a dirty lost puppy. I'm very thankful for the downpours in the midst of chaos. I love when God's love rains down on me and I hope that I am able to rain down that same love on my coworkers and students!
(Oh and the dog was returned to his owner!)
