My Little Bit of Heaven
  
Most of you are going through the same or similar trials and tribulations as I am though your stories may be a little different we are all still in the same boat. My prayer is that my little bit of heaven will make your little bit of heaven just a little bit better. May the Lord richly bless you all, cheers.

Years ago a young man knelt with his pastor and prayed as he committed to God his tithe. His first week's pay was $10.00 and the tithe was $1.00. As he grew older he became more prosperous and his tithe was $7.00 a week, then $10.00. He moved to another city and soon his tithe was $100 a week, then $200, then $500.
One day the younger man sent his old friend a wire, "Please come see me." The pastor arrived at the man's house. They had a good time talking over old times. Finally the man came to his point. " You remember that promise I made years ago to tithe. How can I get released?"
"Why would you want to get released," asked the pastor?
"It's like this," replied the man, "When I made the promise I only had to give $1.00, but now it is $500. I can't afford to give away money like that."
The old pastor looked at his friend. "I am afraid we cannot get released from the promise, but there is something we can do. We can kneel and ask God to shrink your income so you can afford to give $1.00 again."

The Best Teachers Teach From The Heart, Not From The Book Sep 3, 2008 6:06 am

Last week a teacher, an elementary school principal, a known gang member and a little girl went on a shopping trip.
The gang member and the little girl were mother and daughter. During the 2007-2008 school year, the principal had become concerned
because the mother would often come to the school and take home clothes for her child. Finally, the principal told the mother that,
if they needed something, just to call.
The mother did call and told the principal that she couldn't afford to buy her daughter any clothes in which she could start school this
fall.
The principal then visited with the teacher in whose second-grade class the child was being placed, and the two decided they would take
mother and daughter shopping. It made for an interesting procession. After the shopping trip, they went to a tearoom for lunch.
Mom, who's a little rough around the edges, was a bit uncomfortable in the unfamiliar surroundings. Her little girl acted as if she was in fairyland, and in her mind, she probably was.
With school getting under way on the North Coast, such stories remind us of the nobility of the teaching profession and those who choose a
life and a career, making a difference for our children.
Few individuals enter the field of education with the idea of becoming rich in the traditional sense of the term. And yet, there is
much wealth to be both found and shared in the classroom.
Events, like the story of the principal, the teacher, the mother, and the daughter, are manifested in schools every day.
No one really knows how much of a teacher's paycheck goes toward providing, in one way or another, for the students only that stories, like the one above, play out anywhere from a shopping trip, down to the most basic of school supplies.
Critics of public education would have us believe that our schools are in a state of peril. For the most part, that's simply part of
their campaign to justify the creation of a private system where their children can be sheltered from the masses and educated
privately at public expense.
The foundation of the American education system is built upon a very fundamental equation: assuring that our classrooms are occupied by caring, trained professionals.
Recognizing that they cannot do the job in isolation, we would be well-advised to provide them with support, resources and encouragement as if our future depended on their efforts, because it does.

A good teacher is like a candle: it consumes itself to light the way for others.
