Daily D...

Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
My favorite verse to end the school year....May God BLESS each and every one of you.....have a very restful and peaceful summer...ENJOY HIS PRESENCE

Editor's Note: That is the final daily devotion for the school year ending in 2026! Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith!" See you in late August.

Daily D...

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

What a beautiful message from Paul to Timothy...yes, Paul had finished well. I know this is a beautiful hope and prayer that we will be able to say this at the end of our lives, but I think it can also be a hope and prayer for us as we finish the school year. I know there have been many ups and downs, trials and challenges, joys and victories, but through it all, I pray that you have sensed the Lord's leading, His strength, His wisdom, and most of all, His grace. So we leave it in the Lord's hands, we thank Him for the seeds sown, and pray God continues to work in our students' lives as they continue along their own journey and their own paths.

And for each one of you, I pray God's peace and rest as you come to the end of another school year.....

Editor's Note: This is the last week of school in Chesterfield County. Debbie has been faithful to keep and continue her Daily D's throughout. I hope they have blessed you too, as they bless me when I read and ponder them. Our last Daily D for the year will be this Friday and we'll pick it up again near the end of August when school resumes for Debbie's LAST full year of teaching. WOW. Talk about faithful to a mission!!!!

Daily D..

Psalm 37:5
“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.”
The last week can be crazy...so many things to wrap up, plus packing every item in your classroom, down to the last paper clip! And, of course, our students can be a little bit hyper, to say the least LOL

So we commit our way to God and trust that He will help us accomplish the long list of items before we head out the door on Friday.

Prayer Update: I missed an email from Deborah a couple weeks ago...she has begun chemo treatments every Tuesday. She started last week and, so far, no complications. I can't imagine going through all of this, plus trying to deal with substitutes in your classroom and wrapping up the school year. So Father, we lift Deborah before Your throne of grace. We pray for PEACE, a quiet TRUST, REST, and HEALING in her body. Please protect her body, mind, and soul as the chemo enters her system. We pray that YOU will destroy any remaining cancer cells...every one, and restore her to perfect health and wholeness. In Jesus' name....Amen

Thank you for your prayers for her....even if the Holy Spirit brings her name to mind and you just speak it, HE KNOWS and HE HEARS....thank you so much!!

God bless your day!
♥️

Yes, I slept in this morning since our graduation is this afternoon!

"Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me." New Living Translation

"Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (NIV)

However you say it, graduation day is a great day to be thankful for EVERY teacher in our students' lives who have made a DIFFERENCE!!! When our students proceed to "Pomp and Circumstance", I will be thinking of each one of you who has touched a student's life!!! When they count their blessings, you are among them.....thank you for ALL you have done, all of the sacrifices, and all of the love, wisdom, and hope you've given them.......

Now...we bless the ONE for the opportunity and privilege....and the seeds sown and fruit harvested....and the work continues....♥️

I John 4:4
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

Whatever battle you have found yourself fighting, whether forces or people around you or even within your mind or emotions......GREATER IS HE!!!!

Good morning!

I am back🙂 We are counting down to the last day, but so MUCH to get done! I have been praying that, each day, God would multiply my time, just like he multiplied the loaves and fishes. It has happened each day, mostly because I am taking a deep breath and entrusting all of the work left to do to the ONE who is able!! How about you? Feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? It's amazing what can be accomplished when we take it out of our hands. Of course, we still have to do the work, but it is so much easier when we are "yoked" to the ALMIGHTY......!!!

Psalm 62:5-6: "Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken."

I have been watching the Wonder Project Series, "House of David" In one of the scenes, Samuel says, "People are always asking, "Is God with us? Is God for us?'" Well, we KNOW this is true! but Samuel turns it around and says, "We should be asking, 'Am I with GOD?'"
David's relationship with the Lord was beautiful. He longed to be with His Lord. He sought Him in the morning and worshipped him in the evening. He longed to be with the Good Shepherd....
Let us not be so distracted by life that we forget to ask the question, "Am I with God?"

God BLESS you and KEEP you today and always....♥️
