A WET AND WILD WAY TO STRETCH YOUR ENTERTAINMENT DOLLAR

This teacher friend of mine came home from school one day to find a trail and mess from her first-floor bathroom down the hall out the door and into the garage.

Her husband mumbled something about making NINE trips to the hardware store trying to find the right part. He had spent, in total, something like $1.89. And the plumbing problem was still not fixed.

He’s retired and she isn’t. Sometimes, this causes problems. So her philosophy is: bring on the plumbing problems in the future. How ELSE can he be “entertained” for a whole day and spend only $1.89?

Prayer request: We lift up all our teachers, Lord, for Your anointing. Grant them a happy, productive and fulfilling school year. Shield them from undue controversy and strife. Give them the peace of mind and confidence to allow creativity to flower, and nurturing love for the children to be at the center of their classrooms. Find ways for each of us to encourage a teacher this school year, Father, for what they do is so important for us all. Make their work, above all, pleasing to You. I especially lift up Lisa and Becky, two dear teacher friends and Christian servants. (Proverbs 8:21).
