My Beautiful Students

I have to share this.
A little girl in my class handed me a piece of paper this morning. She handed it to me with a side showing three beautiful flowers and a pretty orange and green butterfly. I commented how beautiful it was and how I could see that she spent a lot of time making it for me. Her smile filled her entire little face.
She walked away from me and I started to take a piece of tape to put it up behind my desk on the wall. It fell out of my hands and as I bent down to pick it up I noticed that she had written me a letter.
This is what the letter said:

Dear Mrs. Johnson,
You are the best. You aren't afraid to stand out. You inspire me to love God more and to do my best. I've never had a teacher as kind and caring as you. You always think of creative ideas and solutions for everything. You'll always be in my heart.
From,
(my student) :)

Thank you God...Teach me to love as you loved and serve as you served, so I can be the body of Christ to others.
Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!
