If You Know a Teacher, Thank Him or Her Today!

Being a teacher today is becoming increasingly difficult. As the family unit in this country continues to break down, teachers are being called upon not only to teach but also to parent. Recently I read an editorial in our local paper written by someone objecting to the level of teacher's salaries, especially given that they have summers "off." Apparently this writer never had to teach in one of America's classrooms today.

Just how tough is it getting for our teachers? In Waycross, Georgia a plot was uncovered in which a group of students were planning to attack a teacher. So they brought a number of items to school, including a knife, duct tape and handcuffs. What makes this story so disturbing is that these students are in THIRD grade! They were upset because the teacher had scolded one of them for standing on his chair. Sad story, don't you agree?

So if you know a teacher - thank him or her for being willing to teach our children. Pray for that teacher. And pray for our families in this country. What we need is a revival sent from heaven! People need Jesus Christ!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
