Picture Day at the elementary school where Abby is student teaching was held last month, and she had her photo taken for her ID card.

But I'm not sure that she expected to receive any copies of the image except for the one on said-card, because when she got home today, she was very pleased to show me this: prints of her first-ever (sort of) teacher-portrait.

They gave her a 5x7 and some wallet-sized images along with a thank you for her efforts as an educator.

I could tell that she was tickled pink (no pun intended) by the surprise, and I'm grateful that I got to bear witness to that joy. Sometimes God truly does use little things to bless us.
