Thank You, Father, for where you have me. It is not always a perfect place to be, but You are always with me. I’m not perfect myself, so You get me through it all in spite of myself. I cling to Your mighty power to do so. All praise to You!

I am somewhat hesitant to do this, but I am in need of a little hiatus. I am weary on many fronts – physically, mentally… I am just grateful that I am rekindling my walk with the Lord. I’ve not stopped walking by His side, it’s just that our (my) conversation has been dragging in recent times. There has been far too much silence and far too little interaction and, as always, listening. And indeed, those failings have been on my part and not His. As I wrote yesterday, that area of my life is coming along and I will most certainly keep at it – it is too important to do otherwise!
Anyway, I am taking a respite for a week or so. We are on our Christmas break, and many of my friends and family are so in need of it. If you think of us, say a little prayer for us, that we may return refreshed and ready to continue our work. And let me stress, for myself and many others, it’s not just a job…it is a privilege and a responsibility. Everyone in our line of work, be they teachers, bus drivers, custodians, administrators, or any other position of authority, we all are in places of influence. May the Lord use us as He deems fit even in the most common of situations. When there are vacancies in the lives of children – and for that matter in the lives of our fellow workers – may we be the instruments of love that You need, Lord. May we be Your hands and feet to impact. May we be Your voice that we in our small way may be heard over the tumults of life.
May the Lord bless you abundantly in this season and the up-and-coming months. May your Christmas be merry and your New Year be filled with an abundance of His presence in every part of your life!
