We had a wonderful celebration Saturday with our teachers, cooks, guards, and other employees from both our Early Childhood Development Centers. Our theme was "You Are Special" based on the children's' book by Max Lucado. We began at 10:00 in the morning with a devotional and Chad had planned an activity for everyone to do. First he showed the movie of the book, but the computer battery went out in the middle of the movie so we had to finish it after lunch. Due to the computer quitting, we went on and did the activity. Each person had to get with a partner and talk about things that make them special and then they each had a sheet of paper to write why their partner is special. Those were all read aloud to the group and then each person got to take the paper home that was written for them. We rewarded all the men with a lantern spot light and the women with a coffee mug filled with goodies. Then, we had lunch. It was a very enjoyable day and everyone had a great time.
It is so important anywhere to make your employees feel appreciated. Most of all we wanted to make sure that they know that they are important in God's kingdom and in the work here on this earth that they are doing. I know that the activities of the special time we had together will have an impact on them for a long time.
