Today I have been reflecting on this year, as you know I work as a primary school Chaplain at two amazing schools.  I love, love, love my role.

I just wanted to say to all the amazing people that I work with that you are so kind, caring and so invested in the students. You really are.

I really value everything that you do.

I see how much you invest in the school community; I see all the hours that you do.

I notice how much you give to the school, I notice the many hours that you do, the many hours that your give out of your time and how much you give over and above.

Your students are so blessed.

You are creating memories for your students.

I hear from your students how amazing you are.

I want to say thank you.

I want to say that you are making a difference.

Be encouraged.

I want to say you are amazing.

I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Take time to invest in yourself.

You deserve it.

Take the time to rest.

If you need anything please let me know.

I am here for you.

Today in this busy season please know that I am praying for you.

Yes, you the amazing person reading this blog.

I don’t know what is going on for you at this time of year, can I let you know that I am passionate about giving back.

What do you need prayer for today?

Please let me know.

This season for me is about giving back, it’s about making a difference.

I am committed to praying for you.

Today I have been thinking about this year and how this year has been so full. It has been, yes so very full and so productive.

I want to end this year well, I want to be a blessing.

I want to bless others.

I want to be able to bless people in this most amazing season.

Now I might be a little bit tired and sensitive, yes I am being vulnerable here and yes I am tired.

But I know that I am not doing this alone, I really am not.

Today in this beautiful season at Christmas I want to be a blessing to others.

Do you know someone that would love a blessing?

If you do please message me and let’s be a blessing to them.

It is my most favourite thing to do, to be able to do random acts of kindness, especially around this time of year.

How can I be a blessing for you the lovely person reading this, what can I do for you?

Let’s embrace and encourage one another.

Today be a Christmas blessing to someone, you might never know what a difference you will make.

Today be a blessing.

Lot s of Love

I love the Christmas season I really do, it is my most favourite time of the year.

This weekend I have my youngest niece staying with me for the whole weekend, which is such a blessing (at the moment she is on YouTube as always, Just joking she asked me to write this).

I want her to know about kindness, I want her to know about what my role is in the schools that I am at.

I want her to see love in action.

I want her to show random acts of kindness to others.

I want to be a role model for her and for my other nieces and my nephew,

I may not get it right all the time but I want to show kindness.

So far with my youngest niece, we have posted an encouraging message to someone in the units that I live in.

We have also gifted a hat to one of my neighbours, that would leave me a lovely salad at my door every now and then.

My neighbour did not know what my day was like and when I arrived home that day, she had left me her lovely salad.

I mentioned to my niece that I would like to give something to my neighbour. I had ordered an extra hat online and I said to my niece lets give this to my neighbour.

My niece left a note and we went to my neighbour’s door and left the gift then we ran away, before she knew who it was.

My niece wanted to go back a few times to check, then the next morning we went to check and it was gone.

Such childlike faith.

A few weeks later I saw my neighbour and she said thank you for my lovely hat.

I explained how I was showing my niece how to make a difference.

I couldn’t wait to see my niece and let her know what my neighbour had said.

I love doing random acts of kindness.

What is something you can do this season to show random acts of kindness?

This time of year, be a blessing, be an encouragement, show kindness and bless someone.

I love being there for others and I have a saying that I love-

Spread kindness around like confetti

It is something that I talk about at the schools that I work at.

My role is as a primary school Chaplain and I love being a Chaplain I really do.

I love creating a space where people can just chat about how they are feeling.

I love creating a safe space.

I am so grateful for working with amazing people.

I really am.

I love how they are so passionate about how they care for the students, for their students.

I love how they invest in their students’ lives.

I love how they give so much to help the students that are in their care.

I see how they go over and above what is required of them.

Again, they are invested.

Yes, they want to be there for their students.

I really want to be there for the most amazing people that I get to work with.

I want to say to them, yes you are making a difference.

I want to cheer them on and say, yes, we notice all the little things that you do for your students.

I want to say you are amazing.

I want to say thank you.

I want to say I am here for you.

I want to say let’s go and get a coffee.

I want to be there for you.

Yes, I do.

I want to say you are not alone, you are worthy, valued and loved.

Be encouraged.

I am here for you.
