The trees display glorious shades of crimson and gold. The crisp autumn air has the slight scent of burning wood. The sun disappears beyond the horizon just at the end of the afternoon, casting long shadows. I am eagerly anticipating Thanksgiving!
I am a list writer. Generally speaking, my lists consist of items I need. Of course, this time of year, I may even put together a wish list. And that is why I love Thanksgiving…it forces me to make a list of the many blessings I have in my life. This list reminds me that God is truly in the details of each and every day, and I am humbled and grateful!
Working at Linton Hall School is definitely on my list of blessings. I consider the faculty, staff, and families of our community my large extended family. From time to time, your children tell me how much they enjoy being a part of LHS. So, I decided to have all of the children finish this sentence and here is what I learned.
