Back Home in Morocco

Pottery and embroidery from Fez.

I have returned to my life in the big city at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and I have lovely, held close to my heart memories of Fes and Riad Fes Medina. I have my ruby slippers in case I need to go home:-), I have wonderful memories of colors, hand-painted pottery by people I have actually met, Andalusian music, Pastillia, and new friends that treat me like a sister. I hope to return for a weekend in December. "En Sha Allah" (if God wills) as they say in this neck of the woods! It was a great weekend of prayer, praise and encouragement with each other in our traveling group. I drifted off to sleep thankful to the Lord for many, many blessings. Now, I return to my teaching in the corner of the world where God has placed me. May He be honored in my classroom this week.
(My teaching thought for today: "Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another." -- Marva Collins)

PS Today, I am highlighting a need of an organization that helps women and girls leave the sex-trafficking industry, from another part of the world, which I am a part of. CHO - Cambodia Hope Organization needs our help. Please read here http://affhope.org/current-projects/cambodia-water/ and help a fantastic project in one of the poorest areas of the world. Thank you for reading. Let's all be God's hands and bring beauty and goodness to these sisters.
