Give a gift

If you have an opportunity, give someone the gift of a kind word. Long story: our school had a number of young women who were pregnant, and having at risk pregnancies. Our music teacher was one of them. She had to be off work just as we were going into the holiday concert season. The school called upon a retired music teacher. Mrs. Hancock. She is older, very strict, and very traditional. Not always popular with the kids, but she brings out the best in them musically for sure. It is a lot of work for her to help us out on a daily basis as well, until after Christmas. I got to give her a "gift" though, last week. The young primary Christmas concert was the first week of December. All the last two weeks the second grade students in the class I worked in have been spontaneously singing the various songs from their part of the program. I got to tell her how much they were enjoying singing the songs while they worked. I think I made her day.
