back to school

A special young girl,

Celeste,

a member of our church and a friend,

recently moved to Uganda 

to take a job teaching school.

This is a picture of how her classroom looked

 before the first students arrived.

Always makes me nostalgic,

this time of

"Back to School."

What I remember most about teaching

were my students....

many of whom I am friends with on

Facebook.

It is so exciting to see these little ones so full of promise

all grown up with children of their own.

Two of my former students

are now my doctors.

Being a teacher is the most important job ever!

Whether it be mom at home

or the teacher in a classroom,

these people have the ability to change lives for the better....

to recognize problems

and to enact solutions to those problems.

I think this afternoon of Jesus,

the Master ~ Teacher,

seated on a hillside giving truth and life to His disciples.

""And seeing the multitudes,

 He went up on a mountain, 

and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

Then He opened His mouth and taught them."  

Matthew 5: 1&2

What do we do with the teachings of Jesus??

Do we hear and act?

Do we disregard?

Jesus teaches the truth.....

it is everything that we need.

Will you open God's Word and learn from Him today?
