It can be the by which each child can find their light. I’d like to share a story where music overcame a barrier and made a connection with a young student. One of my most students was a young girl called Vanessa. Vanessa had difficulty walking and couldn’t speak at that time. We sat on the floor for our music lessons. We all like a song, which was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped twice while singing the repeat, "Oh, yes!" We probably that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word. One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked at me directly in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth and for that moment I was the one who couldn’t speak . Through music, we had made an excellent . Several years later, I met Vanessa in the street in town. She waved to me with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands twice, copying the song we had performed so many times. This precious little girl, her connection with music, left a(n) on me that will last forever. Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us as to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.

The secret of carrier pigeons' unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by scientists: the feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do.

Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite (GPS) and got a surprising result. The birds often don't use the sun to decide their directions. Instead, they fly along motorways, turn at crossings and even go around roundabouts (绕道) , adding miles to their journeys.

“It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade-long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts (本能) and follow the road system,” said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behavior at Oxford University's Department of Zoology.

Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system (导航系统) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.

“But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work,” said Guilford.

“In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road. They are just making their journeys as simple as possible.”

If you have ever driven in the mountains on a cool autumn morning, then you know what fog is. Today , I just drove right into a of fog. I quickly slowed down and my headlights. Seeing the road ahead was a . I felt as if I had been transported into a shadow world. I looked was only dark grayness. Even the trees the road had become frightening, me of some frightening stories. I drove on and on through the waves of dark and wondered it would end.

After a while, , the sun broke through the fog and the world was transformed. The golden light beams the landscape. The red and yellow leaves shone on the . The river along the road shone in the sunshine. Everything seemed full of and joy again. I smiled and drove, singing a song in my heart. I thanked God for both the sunshine and the 32 , because he reminded me again of just how this world can be.

In our lives the fog can roll in sometimes too. Things can go . Problems can appear. Difficulties, pains and troubles can seem to us and block out all the light in our life.

When this happens and the world seems in gray, we need to remember that we can break through the fog. We can the shadows away with love. We can transform the world with our joy. We also can light a way the dark for others to follow. God is willing to our souls with his love and light. All he asks is that we share their shine. May all of your foggy days be then. May your soul shine brightly. And may you forever struggle to live in God’s light.
