This was the opening page of our new Social Studies chapter today:
"Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze."
from the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads," written by John Denver and Bill & Taffy Danoff.
Wait a minute, I just heard that song recently and wouldn't it be cool to have my students listen to it. There arose the problem.......how do I find it here in Korea. I recently heard it when my friend, John, was sharing about our friend, Eric, during Eric's homegoing service. Since it was recorded, I thought I would share their (Eric & John's) singing along with the song.
My kids, loved it and were touched. So John and Eric, thank you! You were used by God to move in my students' hearts. It was a God Moment for us.
This started as my online journal of the journey GOD was taking me on to teach in Seoul, South Korea and now continues with where HE is leading me after there. My goal in life is to have my life reflect Christ, sometimes without ever even having to say a word. After all, the best gift we have to share is who HE has created us to be.
"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham
