Verse to Meditate on....

With School starting I Love to go through and pick out verses that will be help for my children. I thought I'd share these verses, when we home schooled these verses were the first ones to learn each yr.

Ephesians 4:32
"Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
As parents, teachers and children we all need:
1. To be kind - kindness should always be a part of our every day way of life.
2. Tenderhearted - if you notice a fellow class mate or co-worker having a rough day be tenderhearted with them.
3. Forgiving - if someone does wrong towards you, forgive them! After all Christ forgave and forgives all we do wrong!
Maybe just maybe you'll be considered more Christ like if you do these 3 things.

II Timothy 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
1. Study! As teachers and students we need to study! As the teacher if you don't know your materials you won't do as well. As the student if you don't apply yourself and study it's more difficult to pass.
2. Work - work hard where your not ashamed of your grades.

I Corinthians 14:40
"Let all things be done decently and in order"
As a former home schooler I would have this posted in the front of the classroom and typed out then taped to their desk.
1. If your desk is in order things are alot easier get to.
2. If we do things decently and order imagine how much better our classes, day, wks, months even our year will go!

Ephesians 5:2
"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour."
1. Love - we should love one another! Hate is NOT of God, if we hate someone we can't love.
2. If we love as Christ loved us just think how much better it will be. Be Christ like and love as Christ loves us!
