I received this card some years back from a friend from church. I feel honored that she picked me. I guess I will tell you what I have been doing for the past 11 years. I have been a member of my church for around 18 years, when my girls were small. I became a Sunday school teacher. After a few years I heard about a program that taught children about the bible in the format similar to Sesame Street. I felt it was important for kids to learn about the bible and about how much Jesus loves us. What a great way to teach them. It was a big project and many, many hours. The name of the ministry is called Caraway Street with puppets and funny characters doing the teaching. There are 40 some of these ministries around the US. I have been one of the forces behind the scenes. We have been going since 2007. I also lead a bible study that was originally was for the cast for Caraway but anyone is welcome to come. I’m not leader quality but it is important to have Jesus in our lives.

Payton is a young man that has shown an incredible work ethic, compassion and desire to learn. Payton shows up for his shifts, picks up extra and is engaged on all his shifts. He ensures each participant is well cared for and is interacting at all times. Payton has gone above and beyond with assisting in multiple programs and is willing to help whenever and wherever he can. Thank you Payton!!!

Being a teacher myself and being early on in my career is difficult as it is. I am also an FFA advisor and deal with a lot of extra stress and responsibility. During our fair week I receive this card from my former FFA advisor. Somehow she knew that I needed a little reminder of the significance I have in my job.

Inspirational convocation for Moore Public Schools. So often I think I’m “just a” teacher. I pray I am more than “just a” anything to my students this year. I have a new goal, make someone’s day today! Thanks for the 7 of hearts!

Sharing this with Megan who helped me smile, like I haven’t in a long time. It was a magical moment we were able to share and helped me re-realize how powerful that can be. Hoping to connect again soon and learn more about her dreams, goals and passion.

Believing and trusting in yourself.

Michele passed this card along after I brought up an idea that could merge employee recognition with our IM app. It may be a way to boost employee moral and I’m always looking out for my fellow employee. 🙂

I was lucky enough to attend an event where Jon shared his story- so touching and inspirational! He shared cards with us so we can share them with people who impact us with their gift of kindness. This card will start its journey at my work and I hope it has a long and joyous trip, sharing the stories and the love behind the message.

I work with Pre-K kiddos and some other students that need a little encouragement with their education and behavior.
