Ecc 1:9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
I have a bad habit of reading my school emails and then marking them as unread to respond to later. Last night I decided to go back through them to see if there were items that could be deleted. I found I had over 18,000 emails, over 11,000 marked as unread. Gracious.
2 Thess 3:13 …never tire of doing what is good.
As I started scanning through, deciding what could be pitched, I realized that many of the student and parent emails from years ago dealt with similar issues as my current students and parents incur. Instead of making me feel hopeless, it actually gave me some much needed perspective about the stage of life I am able to help my students navigate. It can be a tough time. I was thankful to have two amazing teachers counsel me through it. Hopefully, my positive steadfastness helps my students along their paths as well.
Gal 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don’t give up.
Lord, Thank You for this day and the reminder that high school can be a turbulent time. Thank You for the teachers who helped me navigate the pitfalls when I lived through it. Help my presence, my positivity, to be a help to my students as they navigate this path. Draw us closer to You. Amen.
Gal 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people….
Have a blessed day.
