Small Pleasures

This week has been full of small pleasures. Since it has been finals week here at Levelland High School some of us teachers have had some extra time on our hands. We decided to make good use of this time by playing so games (Phase 10) and it has been a lot of fun. It is small moments like that that I will look back on when I think about my time spent here in Levelland. It is funny how simple games such as Phase 10 can bring people together and allow you to just sit back and have some laughs. Also this week I received a visit from Rhonda and Tanner to drop of a Christmas gift (a coconut cream pie). It was nice to actually have people over for a change. We sat and talked for a while and I really enjoyed it. Besides the pie, I have received fudge, puppy chow, cookies, chocolate cover pretzels, and peppermint bark. I have decided that the math department loves food!! Finally this morning I went outside and was greeted with snow. It was a calm morning so the snow was falling slowly to the ground. It was very peaceful. It is funny how these few things seem so small but in reality these are the treasures that I store up in my heart. Time spent with friends and the beauty of snow that is a wonderful gift of God. What are the small things in your life that make an impact? Don't forget to thank God for them.
