One at a Time

I am a sixth grade teacher in a small rural school. I have a group of students whom I have grown to love since they started attending our school more than six years ago. These students are the reason I love my job so much. I respect them as much as they respect me. I treat them as if they were my own. I also apologize to them when I make mistakes. I truly believe that admitting fault to our youth will teach them that it’s okay to apologize. I know I only have 19 students, but it is my goal to teach them not only academics but also how to treat others and be kind.

    "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5: 16. You are also letting God's love shine through you! Bless you!

    I’m sure you are a blessing to them

When is the last time you apologized to someone? It's not something that comes easily to most of us. One of the ways that we can love people one at a time is by humbling ourselves and asking for forgiveness.  Take a moment and examine who is your life may need to hear "I'm sorry" from you this week. It may be for something small or it may be for something that has affected lives for many years. But because of the grace that Christ extends to us, we are able, as his followers, to ask for grace from others in our lives. Sharing a story may be more difficult this week, but it will undoubtedly encourage and inspire others in ways that only God knows.
