Today I'm thankful that my Sunday School lesson went well.
I have been teaching Sunday School for about a year and a half, and while I enjoy it, I must admit that I am not doing as well preparing for my lessons as I used to. Part of it is that in order to prepare so I feel as comfortable with the lesson as I want to be, it often takes a whole bunch of hours of not only reading chapters in the scriptures, but also looking up numerous references. And sometimes (often?) life has a way of crowding out extra hours during the week that I could have/should have used for preparing, and before I know it, it's Saturday and I'm facing a whole day of studying in order to feel ready for Sunday's lesson.
So, feeling a bit overwhelmed yesterday with the thought of spending hours and hours on my lesson, I prayed that I would be able to quickly get a feel for the lesson and know how to teach it.
And, it happened. The lesson came together easily, and all seemed to go well today in presenting it. So thank you, Heavenly Father, for that blessing which gave peace to my slightly overwhelmed soul.
