Let me start with a quote:
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which,if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Sisters, we are teachers of some precious souls and it is important to remember that they (and us) are immortals having a temporal experience and not the other way around. Teach with kindness; be stern and truthful not swaying to the left or right to show them the way. I know it's a strait way with sharp turns and twists but it was made for us all and if the Lord is at your helm, you will gain an experience that will bless your whole life.
Thanks again for your service and dedication. You can do this work. Give your all and your sacrifice will be accepted and will lead you to a path that will be a shining jewel to your life.
Again we pray for you and those you find and teach.
Nathan Bingham
