In a single day, I've been faced with a homesick child (also a runner), no internet in the computer lab (ad lib), a fight on the playground (get to know the principal in action), a suddenly lost tooth (unrelated to the playground incident) and a bumblebee in our classroom. Oh yeah, did I mention it was International Peace Day?
Ha! In the midst of the chaos, I am reassured of where my peace comes from.
I've read/memorized this verse hundreds of times, but it really takes on new meaning when you're teaching 25 kindergarteners.
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
