TEACHERS! TEACHERS! TEACHERS! My How God Loves Them!

    Teachers mold the hearts of little children.  Whenever little children study the Bible, wonderful women and men mold their hearts and lives.  Such is a work of God, to teach and train little minds the grand and glorious truths of God, to prepare them for life's great adventure.  Concepts are formed and opinions strengthened for life, quite often takes place.

    Teachers uphold the Truth of God always; at least they should, and when they do wonderful things happen.  Darkness is banished, light is brought to bear, the great things of life are illuminated, and error is exposed.  Little minds and hearts are touched for good, and lives are changed for the better.  Error is put to rout and bedrock faith emerges!

    Teachers deal with little issues falling every generation.  If not, then the practical application of these great Truths is lacking and much is left undone.  Without direction and application, people often go away untaught and left to wonder as to what God expects of them.

    Teachers change our communities and lives.  Their example and training often spill over from the classroom into our families, communities, and lives.  God wills it so.  This is an expression of our lights shining and our salt influencing those about us.

    Some of our dearest memories are of teachers we have had in our lives.  They have made a difference.  They always will.  Man is a teachable, learning being, and great and good teachers influence us.  One of their great rewards is found in seeing the change in their student's lives, and just once in a while the student becomes a teacher himself.  What attribute and honor to those who taught them.  This is a great reward.

    So, dear teacher, please continue to forget the thankless hours of preparation and sacrifice, the pain and anguish of teaching.  Just keep on doing your wonderful thing, for God loves you--- and so do we!
