I have been in the classroom a lot lately and being there has opened my eyes to the importance of not only how we act and dress, but our language as a whole. Students are so impressionable and most of them are like little sponges.
Just yesterday I was in a kindergarten class and I continually said things were struggling (i.e. the markers weren't working and the projector didn't want to work). The students looked at me and said, "What is 'struggling'?" So, I had to explain it to them.
The day before something else came out of my mouth and I thought, "Wow!" Gotta be careful with that one. All the students snickered and I prayed that they would forget that it ever happened. By the grace of God, they will.
Heavenly Father's little angels are so impressionable and it's important that we act in light of our calling as teachers to raise them the way He would if He were here. Children certainly are precious to Him. I believe that how we act and speak show a maturity and preparation to have His little angels in our life.
