Giving and receiving encouragement.
The start of a new school year comes with its own special set of concerns. Parents brace themselves as their kids move into new experiences and new relationships. Kids wonder about fitting in and getting along with their teachers and peers, while teachers worry about connecting with students and helping them learn and grow.
Into that atmosphere a bit of encouragement can go a long way. Here is message that I just received from a graduate:
“Thanks for emphasizing prayer in the classroom. It is and will be an example to follow.”
Then, following my first class of Evangelism, I was greeted by Guadalupe, a student from my class the year prior.
“Teacher,” she said, “I just wanted to let you know that the survey techniques that you had taught us have enabled me to start Bible studies in the homes of ten new families!”
Isn’t God good? He knows just what we need to keep keeping on.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ” Gal. 6:9
