Day 3-Show Kindness

Day three of school is here, I pressed snooze several times. Having my alarm clock in my kitchen seems to be helping me wake up, as well as turning the light on in the kitchen and leaving my bedroom door opened.

Colossians 3:12 "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering."

Christ was patient and kind even in the midst of times he could have lost his temper. I know there have been times as a teacher I've lost it due to stress, tiredness, or frustrations. But as I look back at the times I've blown up I knew I was not reflecting Christ to my kids.  There will be some days that will be easier and harder than others. Days that I may want to "snap" at my kids. Days that they make me want to pull my hair out. But even during these rough days I still need to show Christ to my kids, I need to be a meek spirit, quiet, kinda, and long suffering. After all, my Christ is this way to me.
