A Memorial

One of the many reasons I ask God to fulfill this request is so that my kids will have a spiritual landmark in their lives; that one day when they are faced with an impossible situation requiring prayer, they will be able to look back at their sophomore year and have tangible evidence that God will do the impossible.
This morning I was reading in Mark 14 of Mary pouring out the precious ointment on Jesus. In verse 9, Jesus told His disciples that her act of love would be a memorial of her wherever the Gospel is preached. I have read that verse a thousand times, but today, it really hit home with me. What am I doing for Christ that will be remembered as a memorial of Him?  I asked God what I could do that would be a memorial for future Friendship students and immediately I thought of this request. When God fulfills this request, it will be an amazing testament to the power of prayer. It will be proof positive in the life of my sophomores of what God can do if we only trust Him enough to do it. I then thought of the impact this could have on future Friendship students. I want this story to be repeated to future students, not so  that I can be credited, not so that a story of how Tim Tebow once visited our school can be told, but so that God's power in prayer can be credited. I may not always teach here at Friendship, but God, hopefully, will always be an integral part of this school. I want this story repeated so those students whom I may never know, will know the great things that can and do get accomplished through prayer. This is the memorial I want to leave for my students and the many to come after.
