Teachers Wish List

Proverbs 1:7New International Version (NIV)
⁷ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools^[a] despise wisdom and instruction

The Student

Since the school year is in session across America. I have found many teachers and the administrators  have a wish list for parents.

1. First day of school bring your child.(elementary)
2. If school starts on Monday. Tues and Thurs is not an option
3. Begin the school year on a positive note.  Attending Weave World is not more important than education
4. Do not ask the front office to fill out Govt. forms when your child is not present.
5. If your child needs immunizations get it done. More important than Happy Hour.
6. If you can get to the club on time for free admission you can get your child to school on time
7. Attend PTA and meet their teachers. Know the expectations
8. Turn off the TV. Check homework
9. If your child is not socialize (respecting authority) You might need to  home school
10.Buy cloths for school not the beach or club
11. Make sure your child eats breakfast
12.Get school supplies

As a random act of kindness if you know a parent that falls under the Teachers wish list. Offer to assist in purchasing school supplies. Be a Blessing give a Blessing ! Pass on Proverbs 1:7 no one should be a fool.

Help!

Genesis 2:18New International Version (NIV)  

¹⁸ The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

Research proves that caring volunteers working with students of all ages, have the power to help kids boost academic achievement and put young people on track for a bright future. That’s why United Way launched this historic new effort to recruit one million new volunteer readers, tutors and mentors. Learn more about volunteer opportunities and find out how you can get involved by helping kids read, tutoring students, or mentoring. Learn More.


As a child I always volunteered with my mom at our church St. Paul we attended weekly. My mother called it giving back. When I moved to Atlanta my mother also told me to join a faith based church. I did.  As an adult I have volunteered for March of Dime  ,United Way, Young Democrats of Georgia, Andrew Young mayoral race and Barack Obama .  The point is in order to make a change we must be involved in our communities.

As a random act of kindness give money or time in your community .  What ever we give it appreciated and needed.  Like God said in Genesis 2:18 we are predestine to be helpers.   Be a Blessing give a Blessing.

Belonging

2 Corinthians 8:14New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality

As parents we must teach our kids that we have an equal place in society. With God, knowledge, Faith, determination and our assistance they can do it.

In most states across America the school year is just beginning.  We must include in our family teachings with our children conflict resolutions with words not bullets.

Philip Barbour High School

 PHILIPPI, W.Va. (AP) — With 29 terrified students looking on, a West Virginia high school teacher managed to calm a 14-year-old student who pointed a gun at her in her classroom, giving a police chief time to arrive and convince the boy to free his peers and surrender, authorities said.

As a random act of kindness share with someone the 10 commandments.  Be a Blessing and give a Blessing of direction.

Driven

Philippians 3:8New International Version (NIV)

⁸ What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ

Kylie's fight with cancer pushed her to invent a life-changing device.

Kylie Simonds

Kylie Simonds, from Naugatuck, Connecticut, understands what the struggle with cancer entails. The 11-year-old says she remembers struggling to walk around with IV poles, after she was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma -- a connective tissue cancer -- three years ago, according to WTNH. That's why she invented a pediatric IV backpack: a wearable, portable IV machine for kids receiving chemotherapy or transfusions. The bag even comes in colorful designs.

As parents we underestimate our children full potential.  As a random act of kindness help a child navigate their dream.  Be a Blessing give a Blessing.

Teens

The more you know the more you grow. Today's blog is written by 14yr old David St. Preux.

 Teens today need to be aware of many things.

I Kings 2:1
says .. "show thyself a man".

Christ with Children

   In all that I do as a teen and a young man I am aware of my environment; I make good choices and use technology wisely because in the future I plan to be the great man I know I will be.

 I went to a residential camp this summer at Purdue University for two weeks. I had to manage my money, time and resources. I had to be very mindful of my data usage. I, also, had to follow rules; respect boundaries and manage my expectations.

First, teens need to know their environment. Bad things can happen anywhere. Know what's around you.
Second, teens need to make good decisions. Bad decisions can dramatically impact your future.
Last, teens must  to use technology wisely. Technology is evolving -- but teens need to use it in good ways; not bad ways.
As a random act of kindness help a teen today  Be a Blessing give a Blessing.
Luv you David! You have more wisdom than most people in their 20's.

Truth

Thy will be done

Truth:  an obvious or accepted fact; truism; platitude.


Psalm 25:5New International Version (NIV)

⁵ Guide me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,
    and my hope is in you all day long.

 

We covered chaos in the world and how in most cases can be eliminated beginning at home. As parents we can start with speaking and teaching Gods word to our children. Gods word is also known as truth teachings.

As a random act of kindness share with someone in need of direction one of God's truths like the 10 commandments.  It can be just 1.

Be a Blessing give a Blessing of direction.

Global Chaos



Leviticus 19:17New International Version (NIV) 

Emanuel African Methodist Church

¹⁷ “‘Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilty.


Around the world from then the Gaza strip to Charleston  South Carolina we have witness hate crimes. For what?

These hate crimes began long before we were born ,before Christ.  That's why God sent his only begotten son to help us out.
Entitlement around the world is a huge problem. From a carjacking in Atlanta to the Gaza strip in the middle east. 
God created us all equal .

Dylann Roof

Mugshot of Roof taken by the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, June 18, 2015.  I sometimes wonder what families like Dylann Roof discuss at Sunday's dinner at Grandma's house.  I don't think it was God's word. To walk in a church and kill 9 people because of the color of their skin is evil.

 

 Don't get it twisted from the color of your skin to the money you may have in your bank account we are created equal in the eyes of God.  Because when we die none of the above really matters. Let love and peace begin in your heart and home so that it can be taken to the streets.



Gaza



Chicago gang death

Finally, we must care enough to discuss what's wrong and find a good approach for resolution. We must resolve that together .because interaction does not work for everyone. And realize that sometimes distance makes for the best family comfort.  Some folks are simply meant to be left alone. You simply pray for your wayward family member and say, go with God. We must transcend our conditions.

As a random act of kindness -- pray for family, peace and harmony. Embrace a new normalcy within your family. Be a blessing and give a blessing!
