  • Zola Jensen taught choir for 32 years in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She shared her contagious love for music with hundreds of students and changed countless lives. From all over the globe, 125 of her previous students came together (virtually) to sing their thanks. She has no idea what she is about to see. #GiveThanks

    When she passes, and we all will, there will probably be no parades, a small story in a newspaper, no holiday named after her. But there will be no forgetting this lady. We should all have a life as well lived as hers. I had a teacher in 5th grade who died on us unexpectedly. We all loved him and at his funeral were folks he taught 30 years before. I never forgot him, he had a major impact on so many, myself included. Yes Mr. Armstrong, I still remember where the treaty ending the war of 1812 was signed. In Ghent, Belgium. He said I would never remember that. That was 60 years ago. this lady belongs in that group.

    Best tribute I have ever seen from (former) students to a teacher.
    2:04 "I'm a teacher because 4 you" - inspiring another person this much to become a teacher? Nicely done
    The people who organized and edited this, should be very proud. Mad respect!

    retired music teacher here and it was moments like this and interactions with former students that made it all worthwhile. Not a profession for everyone and you don't get rich (money wise) but I am rich in memories and everlasting friendships. It is a marvelous feeling when they come back to you and say you are the reason I am the person that I am today. No way to describe the feeling you have hearing that. Great job Zola!

      We are going through a tough time here in the USA, but with GOD all things are possible, so I pray for wisdom, unity and peace.
      My brother and I started a Christian ministry 8 1/2 years ago. We sing, dance, perform skits, spoken Word, preach Gods Word, set up free concerts and tour wherever we are called! We minister and give concerts at youth detention centers and prisons. (Its heart breaking to see 11-18 year olds in BIG trouble!) We cook for and serve the homeless and needy, share clothes, shoes and toiletries with them, find jobs, housing, rehab and counseling for many who live on the streets. It's always busy. We enjoy what we do. GOD HAS BLESSED US! Many ministries stopped serving due to Covid scare but we never did. We just figured out the safest way to serve everyone so those who are hungry can have a hot meal. We stand near our bus and vehicles and pack what they need... and I walk to a small table across the parking lot and place a hot meal, dessert, drink and items they need in a bag that's placed in a basket on the table. Then I walk back to our spot as each individual walks into the parking lot, one by one to take their bags and exit. We continue to serve until everyone is fed. I walk back and forth everytime. (Good exercise, lol) I cook mostly by myself but I have three people who help me to cook sometimes. We cook for up to 400 people each week!!! The smallest group is about 60 people. I also drive around and share food, clothes, blankets, and toiletries to others who are outdoors. Many people call us or ask for food and goods on our website. We deliver. It's a wonderful feeling to serve. I love being the HANDS AND FEET of Christ! All week long, we buy items we need, and pick up any donations from a couple of stores but mostly we pay for everything ourselves. God provides a way every time. When we spend our own money each week, God replenishes it somehow. He is AMAZING like that.
      Well, sorry this is sooo long. I just wanted to share a bit with you. The virus has stopped so much around here. You must have the same challenges as we do. All of my businesses are shut down for now. I own a few. I own a dance business. I teach all ages, and all abilities to dance. Some dancers are in wheelchairs, some are deaf and blind, some use walkers and canes..and others dance at the highest of abilities! I miss dancing and teaching since March! I will share my other businesses next time. My most FAVORITE thing to do is homeschool my son! He is our BLESSING FROM ABOVE! He is older now but we work together each day.
      May GOD bless you and keep you safe and healthy. May God bless your loved ones too.
      Have a "GOD" day!
