Scripture: Proverbs 10:9
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out.
Thought for the Day: It was Albert Einstein who said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” Now Albert Einstein was probably a genius without ever going to a day of school, but I don’t believe he was suggesting that a formal education was unnecessary. So much of what our good teachers do each day is to form character, entice the imagination, encourage students to look beyond simple answers, and to instill within them a desire to be better people tomorrow than they are today. As we approach the end of another school year, it is important for us to honor and give thanks for all our educators and school support staff. This is teacher appreciation week, and I offer my appreciation to all those who helped to form the better parts of my character, enticed my imagination, encouraged me to look beyond simple answers, and put within me a desire to be a better person tomorrow than I was today.
Prayer: We give thanks, O Spirit of Grace, for all those who give so much for the sake of our children. Even when worn down and disillusioned, may they find encouragement and gratitude through you. Amen.
