Dear Teachers,
Know that as a parent I will be praying for each of you.
Some days it may be a global prayer. Some days as God specifically brings your name and face to mind, I will speak a blessing over your day.
I will pray for your physical safety, your mental fortitude, and your soul to be soothed after a long hard day.
I send you my children.
Not only do I want them to learn from you, I want them to bless you.
I want them to bless you with the good I have instilled in them.
I want them to bless you with their respectful behavior towards you.
I want them to bless you with their work ethic and their ability to be a team player in the classroom as well as on the sports field or work place.
I want you to sense the light that is within them, that there IS a difference.
My prayer is for their light to be obvious. To be real. To be soothing to you on your hardest of days.
I respect you, Teacher.
I am a teacher. I know the value of what you do. I support what you do. I know how hard it was for you to get that education to teach, to take those board exams, to pass & to receive your certification. I honor that effort and hold it in high regard.
And because of the precious gift I am turning over to you daily, my flesh and blood, my heart beat, my life, I will expect you to honor my children.
I expect and know you will show up prepared, ready, and on target with what my child and your classroom needs.
I expect you to be respectful of my child and other children.
Sarcasm of any kind has no place in the classroom.
I expect you to have rules for my children to follow so that the classroom environment will be enjoyable, full of learning, and kind.
I am trusting you with my jewels.
I promise to support and communicate effectively with you, Teacher.
And I honor you.
Many Prayers from this Mom,
Julie
