| For Safekeeping |
|
| ¡°But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin¡¯s deceitfulness¡° ( Hebrews 3:13 , NIV ) |
|
We like to keep our treasures safe. We place our money in the bank. We keep our car in the garage. We store our stock certificates in the safety deposit box. We put our health in the hands of our family physician. We entrust our souls to the local church. We trust our kids to teachers.
Whether they volunteer their time for Sunday morning class, teach in the local elementary school, or serve as weekend coach for our child¡¯s soccer team, we put our children in their hands. They become model, hero, mentor, and guide.
Of all the people we meet, perhaps there is no one we should encourage more than our children¡¯s teachers. Encouragement is for all, but parents have special reasons to keep up the spirits of those who teach.
Plan now one way you can encourage the teachers in your child¡¯s life. Simply buy a card. Write a brief note. Purchase a gift at year end. Stop by after school for a few positive words. Find your own method, but do your best to encourage those who keep your treasures safe. |

Dear God, guide those who teach the children we know. Protect them. Lift their spirits. In Jesus¡¯ name. Amen. - HAROLD SHANK, Memphis, Tennessee |
