Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, thank you for the privilege for our children to learn and grow. May others and myself be more concerned with being clothed with kindness and compassion for our children and others who just want to learn, live and be loved. May learning be a joy, rather than a chore. May exploration of learning bring a sense of awe, excitement and a sense of wonder. Grant our children a understanding of what is being taught and what they learn. Help them to appreciate the tasks that come easily and to persevere through those that challenge. We thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:12-15
