It’s easy to forget that you are superhero healers. But the only Teacher who could heal with a single touch was the son of God himself. Your healing powers take many touches. Young hearts are in your tender care for hours a day.
Like most of you, most of them are looking forward to a break from responsibility, accountability, and learning. However, in many of the stories about that Teacher from Nazareth, he reminds us as the physician healer, that not all of us are as sick as others, and he directs our attention to the sickest among us.
There are some young, tender hearts who are not looking forward to a break away from their superpower teachers. To those poor and sickest hearts, you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
As your eyes roll up and back at the unruly instigators of chaos, remember that they want the same break as you do. But remember those poorest of hearts, and make sure that your eyes pierce theirs. Be sure those eyes see your light and taste the healing salt. I suspect they will remember it for months. And possibly much longer.
