Thank You God for Children
Who would have known that today would be a day where my child would be the one to come to the rescue, step up to the plate, be there when I need her. I didn't freak out, I stayed calm, I handled my self really well. I think I went through it all last year. This is just a test. Thank You God for preparing me for the test. I think I passed this one. Children can be wonderful when they are helpful, independent and responsible.Today was a good day. How was your day? Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.

Children
Lord dealing with children with special needs can be a challenge. We all have some type of special need that must be met and I am challenged to work with them. Help me to listen to them and develop a good relationship with all of my students. Thank you for giving me the ability to learn how to express my anger appropriately. Thank you for giving me the power to overcome any obstacle today. Lord you give me what I need for today. Allow me to reflect on the good qualities of all of my students today. I am healed in your name.
Ephesians 6:7
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

My Worship
Lord, I praise you this morning. I give you all the glory and the honor. Lord I pray that I am not just an outward empty form of worship. I want my worship to not be just religious practices but true praise and worship for who Jesus is. How can I do what needs to be done for God's kingdom?
Matthew 16:5
Be careful, Jesus said to them. Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Give Praise
Isaiah 25
Praise to the LORD
1 LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago.
Lord you are wonderful and marvelous. I will praise your name forever and ever and ever. Today we carry the dream and dreamer back into our remembrance. We honor you Lord by exalting a man who believed in non violence as a way to change a nation. His life was lost but his message remains. We continue to strive toward the mark. Just as we do with Jesus. Lord bless our attempts to honor you through him. We love you Lord. I pray that we can have the dedication some time during the first two weeks of October, so I can attend. Today I will spend time telling my students about Dr. King and reminding them that he was a great man. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Be Accepting of Others
Father God, today, allow me to be accepting of others. Let me hear the voice that is new or different. Let me acknowledge that I am justified by faith and that others have a right to an opinion. Let me not forget that I have a voice and an opinion. Thank you God for loving me and giving me discernment about my attitude towards others.
Galatians 2:11-21
11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?
15 “We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles 16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in[a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
19 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”[b]

In the Name of Jesus
As I study the word Lord I ask that you walk with me and guide me in this word. Teach me your ways and allow the Holy Spirit to rest in me. Thank you God for all that you do in my life. I thank you for your blessings daily. In spite of all my mistakes you still love me. I grow stronger everyday knowing that you love me. My faith is founded on your word and your kind of love. I give you all the praise and all of the glory.
Ephesians 4:15
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Thank You Lord
Proverbs 16:7-9
7 When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

than much gain with injustice.

but the LORD establishes their steps.
