Teachers make a lasting difference for generations to come.

Most likely, you’re able

to look back with fondness for a particular teacher who encouraged you to dream
big or helped you hone a specific skill. Perhaps your favorite teacher gently
supported you as you struggled to grasp a certain concept and then cheered wildly
for you when it finally ‘clicked.’

In many ways, teachers are a bright light, a friendly face, and a gentle

guide. Day in and day out, they teach and mold the hearts and minds of our loved
ones. The very least we can do is offer our support, respect, and prayers that they
would remain strong in the Lord.

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, let’s take a moment to lift up our kids’
teachers, grandchild’s teacher, our algebra-teaching sister, or even the neighbor
next door who coaches the high school soccer team. Will you bow your head and
join me in prayer?
