31 days: Day 3



Day 3:  Let's pray for the secretaries/administrative assistance/office staff.

I have personal experience on this one because my Mom has been an elementary school secretary for many years and KNOW how much the school secretary does for the school, parents, and children. 

If your school is blessed with a great secretary, be sure you show appreciation next time you see them.  A kind word can make their day.   

The secretary doesn't just answer the phone, they are responsible for so much more.  Here at the beginning of the school year, before classes even begin, they are already working to make sure things are ready for the teachers to come back followed by the children.  During school they are often the first face a school visitor sees, therefore, they are often the recipient of many rude, yelling, irate parents both over the phone and in person. 

Pray for your school secretary to have a smooth start to the beginning of the year.  Pray for her (or him!) to remain calm in the face of pressure and trying circumstances.  Pray for her to be able to handle the multiple tasks that must be completed each day and not become frustrated or irritable.  Pray for her to be able to encourage and comfort the children that come to her office for a variety of reasons each day. 
Thank you for joining me in prayer.

Have a day of blessings!
