Teacher's Prayer Mug

There are just some things that are so  meaningful that they have to be shared. Here's one that I don't think that I have posted. My son gave me this mug as a gift a year or so ago. Then it was misplaced. Today I found it. He was so please that I can use it again.... and I'm pleased too.

The front simply says "Prayer for a Teacher".

On the back there is a prayer:

"Dear God, bless this teacher 

with words to inspire children's creativity, 

ideas to spark their imagination, 

a kind heart to cultivate their compassion, 

and the wisdom to help them to grow in the courage,

and determination they'll need,

to one day build a better, 

more caring world."

On the inside of the mug is printed, "Be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord... 1 Corinthians 15:58"
