I took a deep breath as I pulled into the parking lot of the school where I teach.
Eight weeks of being homebound had torn away a lot of my self-confidence, and the thought of walking into my school carrying a pillow to sit on didn’t help much either.
As I walked from the parking lot to the school, I began hearing, “Hi, Mrs. Nischan,” from student after student as they were getting off of school buses.
My heart grew a little lighter.
Entering the building, our assistant principal said, “Get over here,” as he gave him a welcoming hug……….
In my classroom, a stack of notes from cards and teachers covered my desk, and I was overwhelmed with love as teachers came by my room to say welcome back and hug me.
As I thought of how each person’s act alone may have seemed insignificant to them, I read the front of a notebook our principal had left for me as a Christmas gift………..
I smiled as I thought of how each student and each teacher had made a difference in my first day back at work ,and I was reminded that I have the choice to be that “ONE PERSON” to someone else with every step I take in life.
So do you.
Today, I pray that as you venture here and there that you will remember that, yes, you are only one person, but YOU have the power to make a SIGNIFICANT difference in the lives of those you touch.
Thank you for praying for me yesterday.
I love you all so much!
Tonight, I’ll share the funny memories of yesterday!
God bless each of you in a very special and unique way,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
WOW! “I made a difference to that one!” That will stick with me for quite awhile! What a special place God has called you to –
Such a wonderful group of kids and co-workers! So glad it was a good day. Hope you are feeling ok. Soon, everyone will want to bring a pillow to sit on…you just might have started something big:)
Glad that you are back 🙂
“Going Beyond” is our church’s motto/slogan. We are trying to stay conscious of the fact that we have something to offer (the Love of God) and it will make a huge difference to someone, even though whatever we may do or say does not seem big to us.
Hoping to make a difference!!!
