Another school year has begun, and I want to take the time to encourage you as you go back to school and begin again in the classroom.
As their teacher, you have the unique privilege of being the hands and feet of Jesus to your students… and for some, you may be the first person who has ever done so. Your students will come to you from all walks of life, and I want to encourage you to take the time to get to know them and to get to know their stories.
It's that time again! I know it must seem hard to believe, but Summer break is over, and it's time for School!
Well, as I write those words, I know some are filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation of all the new school year holds, and others are not nearly as thrilled as they see the challenges ahead.
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 10:25 – 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This scripture almost seems to be more difficult in this day we live as we seem to be busier than ever! I've often thought it would be wonderful if somehow we had an “eighth day of the week,” but sadly, we would find ways to fill that up as well.
As we approach the season of celebrating the death and glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I hope this letter finds you well. Our prayers are with you and your family and we would like for you to know that your presence is missed at services.
I wanted to take a moment to send this note to let you know that we have missed you at Church lately.
I certainly do understand that life gets busy quite quickly. Work schedules in addition to our family responsibilities sometimes be a real balancing act for daily lives.
There is just something about taking a break from all the things that clamor for our attention and spending time with the church family on a Sunday.
