Thankfulness – Day 11
Today, I am thankful for veterans. They gave of themselves for our country, our people, and our ideals as a country.
Thankfulness – Day 12
Today, I am thankful for educators who give so much of themselves to teach their students to be better and more educated individuals.
Prayer Focus for Today
Today, let’s pray for educators as they walk into their classrooms again this morning. Let’s pray they walk into and throughout the room praying for the students who will be there shortly, but there for the biggest part of the day eagerly, or not so eagerly, looking forward to what their teachers have planned for the day. May each teacher in the schools be a real educator today as they lovingly teach all those precious students in a way that all students can learn.
The more a teacher prays for their students, the more successful the teachers will be in having happy, eager students. Trust me, I know!
