Teachers: please know that families don't know all that you do or is asked of you. On days when you are tired and feeling defeated, remember that at All times and in All things, God is able to bless you abundantly so that you will thrive, flourish, and excel in everything He's asking of you.
Those who've been encouraged by a teacher (or whose kids have): Start with prayer! Pray for their day, health, safety, and family. Pray for wisdom as they teach future generations. Pray that they will be encouraged. And if you're able, send them a thank you note. They need the encouragement and will enjoy hearing how a student's life has been inspired.
Thank you, teachers!
