Thankful For: Happy Encounters

Today I went to Wal-Mart with Justine.  Right when I walked in, I saw one of the students that I taught last year.  I did my student teaching at an elementary school, and I just really miss and love those kids.  I went up to him, and he immediately remembered who I was.  His smile was huge, and he was so excited (you could tell by the hand-flapping).  It was a short visit with him, but as I was walking away I could hear him telling his Mom who I was (even though she totally already knew).  This past week has been a rough one with all my car issues, but seeing my student today made up for all of it.  Those are the moments I live for.  I am so thankful for that happy encounter.

Love,
Sean
