Parent-Teacher Meetings

[originally published in the October 24, 2013 Friday Memo]

Meetings with teachers are the kind of calendar items that you hope you can look forward to. However, you tend to know your children much better than teachers, so you can't help but wonder what has happened in the classroom for the past nine weeks of school.

Whatever your questions may have been before you met with your child's teacher today, I sincerely hope that you have left your meeting encouraged. Yes, we always have more work to do--as parents, as teachers, and as students. But, there is a time for looking back and rejoicing in what God has been doing. Having realized how far our children have come, we can encourage them with progress they have made. Then we can help them to continue, to press on. We have an obligation as parents and teachers to be doing the same. We must be pressing on as we prepare to see our Savior, Jesus Christ, and answer to Him for how we have lived. The stakes only get higher. Praise God that His grace is sufficient for the task ahead.
