FRESH START
August 27, 2020

Prayer: Father, thank you that you continually give me a fresh start and renew me each morning. Help me to better grasp the daily grace you extend toward me as I seek to extend that same grace to my students today.

Scripture: For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 NIV

There’s nothing like getting a fresh start. We are most unique in education because we get a fresh start each school year: new students, new colleagues, new administrators, new curriculum and standards, etc. What a blessing. We start the year off with high expectations and enthusiasm for the possibilities and somehow as the year progresses some of that newness wears off. The Lord affords us the same opportunity each day! No matter what has happened today, we are renewed each morning. What joy He provides. As Christian educators let us make sure we extend that same favor to our students and give them the opportunity to start fresh each new day. The spirit of joy will fill our classrooms as we model His favor for us to them.

Quote for the Day: If you judge people, you have no time to love them. Mother Teresa
