I love greeting students at my elementary school when they get dropped off in the morning. We exchange positive affirmations like, “Have an amazing day!” or my favorite, “It’s a great day at Freedom Elementary!”
Earlier this week, I gave my “It’s a great day…” pitch to a fourth grader, who stopped in his tracks. Looking at me thoughtfully, he said, “It should be.”–emphasizing the word should.
The young man has a point. As an administrator, it’s my job to make sure every school day is the best possible for our students. It simply should be! It’s a great day at Freedom elementary because every adult and every student makes it so.
Of course, such idealistic thinking doesn’t always hold up through breakfast. There are almost 1300 little humans at my school, with 150 adults to teach and care for them. Something or someone goes off the rails on a regular basis.
Our continuous commitment to what should be keeps us headed in the right direction.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
Notice, God didn’t tell the Apostle Paul His grace would be enough, He said it was.
Kind reader, like me have you ever asked the Lord to do something He’s already done? His grace is sufficient for us. Mark it down. End of story.
It should be.
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
