Take my heart,
all my pains,
help me Lord,
cleanse the stains.
Take my soul,
all I am,
help me Lord,
just to stand.
Take my mind,
all my fears,
help me Lord,
end my tears.
Take my strength
and my pride,
help me Lord,
not to hide.
Take my hand,
lead me through,
help me Lord,
to love You.
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:29-31

Teacher
You’re a teacher now
Just remember why you’re here.
It’s not for money or fame,
It’s for those children,
The ones who drive you mad and play up
As well as the quiet ones who sit at their desks and do their work.
You’re there for the smart kids as well as those who struggle.
Don’t stress about being perfect.
You will screw up.
Some of those children will hate you,
Some will never understand why you did what you had to.
These children will cringe when you give them homework
And complain when you hand out tests
Not knowing that you don’t want them either
Because all the marking gets you down.
They won’t understand that you hate some of this as much as they do
But it’s necessary.
Stay strong,
Stick to your purpose,
Take it one day at a time,
Focus on the positives,
Learn from your mistakes
And you will succeed.
Those children will learn and grow
And become confident adults.
You will help those children take one more step
Along the path of life.
How awesome is that?
It is worth the stress and drama.
Stay strong.

Weakness
Lord You are my confidant,
The only one I share my weaknesses with.
You see into my very soul
And do not flinch from what You find.
You see my failings
And begin Your great work.
You create a foundation in Yourself
And build me up.
Solid layer upon solid layer.
You test me gently,
And when You think I'm ready,
Harder.
Sometimes I fall
But You catch me in Your caring hands,
Set me on my feet
And keep building,
Until my weaknesses are my strengths.
