While driving back to school today after two glorious weeks off, I ran into some road work. You see those flashing signs, those orange cones and you think, great how long will I be stuck here. However, we should not look at the negatives of road work, but the positives. Soon, we will have fresh new pavement, which hides all the signs of wear and tear. Potholes will no longer exist, and maybe there will even be a wider road when it is all said and done. Rebirth and renewal after a time of difficulty. I think we need to remember that when we are needing a little work done in our lives, it may be inconvenient and difficult. We might have to take a detour and back up and go in a different direction. But the outcome can be beautiful.
Father, show me the places in my life where I need to detour or find a new direction. Show me the times I need to slow down and smooth out the rough spots. Help me to be ready and willing to change when change is needed. Thank you for my students and help me to find ways to motivate them to be the best person they can be.
