counting down?

 "...never tire of doing what is good." 2 Thessalonians 3:13

While many are joyfully counting down the remaining days of school, some are counting in a different way.  

Last week, while looking over a report, Ms. Care expressed her frustration in the progress of a student.  My effort to cheer her by reminding her of only 3 Mondays left, did not get the reaction i expected.  She confessed to feeling a sense of urgency, but it was an unwanted urgency of having a limited time left to accomplish what she desired. It was an unexpected inspiration to keep doing what's right.

In spite of the high winds to wrap up the school year, or any other season, may our roots run deep in doing what's right, so we don't fall short in what God desires.  

Father, thank you for loving reminders of counting our days as still half full instead of half empty.  As long as we have Light, this is an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life... and each difference matters.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
