Good Afternoon!
Mrs. Wilson is out of the building today, so I have been tasked with writing the Words with Wilson this week. So, we will call this installment Words about Wilson! Sometimes God does things to help us understand how special life is and how thankful we should be for all the gifts he gives to us. God has presented me with another one of those opportunities this week. Mrs. Wilson has been a little under the weather and has not been here the past two days. I have been given the opportunity to walk a few miles in her shoes, and here is what I have learned from my experience.
First off, she is much younger and has a lot more energy than me! I slept like a baby last night, and I have scheduled a nap for 2:00 o’clock today because the responsibilities of her job are immense.
Second, I have a new respect for her ability to stay positive and keep smiling. Parts of her job are very taxing on the emotions and the patience. Yet, she is always upbeat and willing to deal with all challenges that come her way.
Thirdly, I have no idea how she gets to all the school activities she attends. I had one place to be last night, Arnis, for the Dine to Donate, and I was not able to make it because of previously scheduled plans. She makes it to everything without fail, she is constantly attending something for the church or the school, and she makes it to everything! Most importantly, I have been reminded what a great person Mrs. Wilson is because although she is not feeling well she continues to text and email to make sure things are going okay and answers any questions. I hope she does call or text around 2:00 today! We are blessed to have her as our principal and friend!
I hope everyone enjoys your weekend, and I encourage all of you to look for those moments in your life where God is trying to get you to realize the special things in your life. Thank you God for the opportunity you gave me these last couple of days!
