(Colossians 3:17) Father, thank You for the ways in which ___ goes above and beyond the call of duty to give their absolute best to their students. Thank You for the early mornings, long days, and late nights they put in. You see the overtime they aren’t compensated for and the many times they stretch their check to make ends meet. I pray the money they spend out of their own pocket to provide supplies and extra materials for students You would return a double portion back to them. Thank You for their heart to invest their time, money, and energy in the next generation, Your children. As they serve their students, remind them they are serving You as well (Matthew 25:40). Their devotion to their work is an act of worship to You. Thank You for their beautiful example of a servant. I pray You would show ___ just how above and beyond You will go to bless those who give their lives to love and serve You. Let all they give be out of the overflow of blessings You bestow upon them. Amen.
