First Day

Today was our second ever first day of school. My daughter started first grade! One of the things we talk about pretty regularly when school rolls around in the fall both in my home and with our students in the youth group is that the number one most important reason God has placed us where He has is to represent Him well in this time and place. So on the first day of school we talk about doing your best in school, respecting your teacher and classmates, and learning…but most important of all we talk about being Christ’s ambassador (see 2 Corinthians 5:20). Usually the language we use with our daughter is “be a blessing today.” God told Abraham that He was going to bless him so that he could be a blessing to others. God has blessed us in incredible ways. And I bet God has blessed you as well. So, be a blessing today and remind your teens that their number one job at school today and all year is to be a blessing.
