I've been reflecting on how teaching is 120% relational and thinking about what 1 Cor. 13 practically means in teacher world. Going to have this right by my desk so I can be reminded!
Love is…
1 Cor. 13
Patient
I don’t know the struggles others are up against.
Take time to learn before you assume.
Kind
Take every opportunity to be kind to others.
People are more important than tasks.
Encouraging
Celebrate other’s accomplishments with them,
sometimes we all need outside perspectives.
Humble
Don’t brag, no one else really cares.
I didn’t accomplish anything by myself.
Polite
Redeem rough situations with kind words.
Communicate how valuable people are.
Team Oriented
Always think about how the work I’m doing
can benefit my whole team and not just myself.
Calm
Take and deep breathe.
Don’t take everything personally.
Forgiving
I’m not perfect either!
Normally people give the best they have to offer.
Protective
Of other’s reputations when they vent.
Unity builds, division destroys.
Trusting
That administrative choices are made
with everyone’s best interest in mind.
Hopeful
That the work I am doing is making
a positive impact in student’s lives.
Persevering
Get back up and try again!
