Day 15.

Teach: Adapted from Psalms 25, 32, and 143. Dearest Father, Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation. Teach me the way in which I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. Instruct me and counsel me with Your eye upon me. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. The more I trust in You, Your loving kindness will surround me, and I will shout for joy to be among the upright of heart. Amen

Actually, everyone is a teacher if you think about it. We teach each other how we like to be treated. We teach our children more with our actions than our words. School is not the only place where we learn. The Holy Spirit is always filling us with life lessons—deep in our hearts, inspiring us to reflect God’s image. Look around you today. Watch the ways that people interact. If you see a person who looks down, try a smile, or an encouraging word. Take a moment to reflect and ask, how can I respond in a way that would delight God? Record how it makes you feel. Especially if you were NOT planning to smile! (Happy St. Patrick’s Day, by the way. May the community of Saints bless you and keep you!)
