Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.

A Teacher's Reflections 
Thanks again Jennie for sharing this. I used to read The Polar Express at our library’s holiday open house every year, and it was always a challenge for me not to tear up near the end.
My pleasure, Kim! I always have a lump in my throat when I read it aloud. ❤️
Yep. I know my two year old grandsons would love both of you. I do too. Love to both of you,
Thank you, Cindy!
🥰🥰🥰
I left a comment on Kim’s blog earlier, Jennie. Good reblog.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. Kim posts the good ones.
I just watched the Polar Express the other night. It’s a great book/movie and the quote is spot on!
Yes!! It’s one of the best. 🥰
Well said……. Enjoy your weekend Jennie ❤
Thank you, Sue. You, too. 😍
❤
The picture says it all, doesn’t it?
Yes, it does! 🙂
Perfect share! 🎄 Merry Christmas, Jennie! 💞xo
Thank you, Bette! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄❤️
Jennie and Kim, thank you both!
You’re welcome, Charles!
A lovely quote, Jennie, from a beautiful book. So many things we cherish are invisible. ❤
Yes!
