Yesterday was a tough day!
Thorn: Had a mom/new teacher in the Sunday School class I teach undermine my authority and tell the preschool director and children's minister that I am "heavy handed" with the kids. (my interpretation: I treat the kids inappropriately)
Roses: The Preschool Director told the woman that without a doubt she knows I love the children in my class. My dh cooked dinner and was truly worried about me as I am devestated about Sunday School

This is a place to share a quick message about your day. List an item as a thorn (something that didn't go quite right) and then a rose (something that went well--and possibly fixed the "thorny" issue.) Remember that every rose has thorns
