E-couragement for teachers #2

Check Your Focus

Thought for Today
Think of a camera lens. You want your photo not blurred, your object centered, your finger out of the way of the shutter. How do you accomplish that? First you have to stop. Be still. Maybe take a deep breath so the camera is steady. Be still this week, dear worker. Sit quietly before our Lord. Take a deep breath of his new mercies. Let your focus be on faith—your faith and the faith of your students.

Quote for Today

“Grand Inquisitor: The secret of man’s being is not only to live but to have something to live for.”
—Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Brothers Karamazov)

Scripture for Today

“Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2).
