Ready for school
You have a new box of crayons and some pencils and paper. You want to know more about your new teacher and your new classmates.
It’s exciting to think about what you will get out of your new school year, isn’t it? Have you ever thought about school as a place to give? God gives you spiritual qualities and abilities that allow you to help your teacher and your class to do their best. Here are some things to think about for this coming school year.
Before your day starts, know that God is with you. God is keeping everyone at your school safe. Father-Mother God is perfect, and He made you and everyone in His image and likeness. So no one really wants to be mean or unkind. You can see everybody as naturally loving and obedient.
God made your teacher. You can know that your teacher is good because God made your teacher that way. So you can expect that your teacher will be patient, fair, and kind. Because God is perfect, He doesn’t cause anyone to suffer or be sick. We are God’s reflection. So you can pray to know that everyone in your school is truly healthy and strong.
God is divine Mind. God knows all. We express Mind’s intelligence. So you can learn what needs to be learned. Nothing is too hard for Mind, and Mind is guiding you!
When you get ready for school each morning, don’t forget to “pack” good ideas inside your thinking. They will stay with you all day long to help you.
Christ Jesus loved the innocence and love little children expressed. He spent his life serving God. God is a loving God, and He makes you able to help others at home and at school. Now have fun!
