A week ago a few tears fell before school on a cold Monday morning. Thankfully I was in my classroom with three Christian sisters. We meet on Mondays to pray for our school, our students, our families and each other. I didn’t sleep well the night before because I was worried about the World Race. I can worry at times.
Insert: Philippians 4:6-7: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
I cannot tell you how much support, love, encouragement I have received in the last week! I didn’t even ask for it! God is Good, so thank you Jesus for all you have done in the last week through the following people.
And so my friends, you get: The Public Thank You
