A PRAYER FOR EDUCATORS
(Parents and Teachers)
O Lord give us the wisdom
to deal with our children as You would,
to see in each of them Your holy image,
to develop in them a genuine love of all men not only
a select few.
To nurture in them true desire to put in
and not simply to take out
to teach them to be go - givers rather than go - getters.
God, in training these dear ones whom You have
entrusted to our care ,help us
to encourage rather than discourage,
to discipline with kindness , not softness ,
to guide them intelligently , not blindly ,
to coach , not scold ; to nudge , not nag.
Dear Lord , above all help us
to use common sense in regard to their future
to let them go gladly when the time comes;
to let them lead their own lives while following them
with love ;
to pray always that they may be close to you,
not only for the few years of this life
but to the end of eternity.
Hints For Success
"If you can sense the One in all creation .
And see God in every brothers face,
Without respect of creed , race or nation:
If you can feel at home in every place ,
If all your thoughts , works and acts are holy ,
And everything from highest motives done,
And all your work is based on service only,
You are very near to the divine, my son".
Anon
"The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness
;
to an opponent , tolerance ; to a friend , your heart;
to your child , good example ; to a father ,deference;
to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you ;
to yourself, respect ; to all men , charity."
Mrs. Balfour
" We are building every day,
In a good or evil way ,
And the structure as it goes ,
Will our inward self disclose.
Build it well , whatre you do ,
Build it straight and strong and true ,
Build it clean and high and broad,
Build it for the eye of God."
Anon
" Courage is not absence of fear,
It is the mastery of it .
The best reason for holding your
chin up when in trouble is that it keeps
the mouth closed"
