Scripture: Luke 14:12-14

A Meditation for the Week

12 He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid.

9 | P a g e

9 | P a g e

13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Meditation: Who do you honor at your table? The Lord is always ready to receive us at his table. As far as we can tell from the Gospel accounts, Jesus never refused a dinner invitation! Why, in this particular instance, does Jesus lecture his host on whom he should or shouldn't invite to dinner? Did his host expect some favor or reward from Jesus? Did he want to impress his neighbors with the honor of hosting the "miracle worker" from Galilee?

Generous giving doesn't impoverish - but enriches the heart. Jesus probes our hearts as well. Do you only show favor and generosity to those who will repay you in kind? What about those who do not have the means to repay you - the poor, the sick, and the disadvantaged? Generosity demands a measure of self-sacrifice. However, it doesn't impoverish, but rather enriches the soul of the giver. True generosity springs from a heart full of mercy and compassion. God has loved us first, and our love for him is a response of gratitude for the great mercy and kindness he has shown to each one of us. No one can outmatch God in his generous love and kindness towards us. Do you give freely as Jesus gives without seeking personal gain or reward?

"Lord Jesus, you love never fails and your mercies abound. You offer us the best of gifts - peace, pardon and everlasting friendship with you at your banquet table. Fill me with gratitude for your great mercy and kindness towards me. And may I never fail to show kindness and mercy towards all I meet so that they may know the mercy and goodness you offer them as well."

Make the Most of a Parent-Teacher Conference (Great Tips from Lee Ann Karg)

Parent-Teacher Conferences on November 6 and 7, 2018 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Learn how to get the most from a parent-teacher conference attending the meeting with your partner, emailing any concerns to the teacher in advance, bringing an action plan, and, of course, thanking the teacher.

We are an equal and essential part of the equation, and we should actively participate. The following tips will help you make the most of your meeting time:

1. BE ON TIME. The teacher has to schedule conferences one after the other.

2. STAND UNITED. Whenever possible, both parents should attend the meeting. Showing up together demonstrates your commitment to your child’s education.

3. LOOK TO PRAISE. Share any positive comments you’ve heard from your child about the teacher, class, or classroom to set a constructive tone for the meeting.

4. STAY INFORMED. Talk with your child to see if he has any concerns about school.

10 | P a g e

10 | P a g e

5. PLAN AHEAD. E-mail any concerns to the teacher in advance, if you want a thorough, thoughtful response.

6. BRING YOUR CHILD’S REPORT CARD. Review your child’s progress to see if there are any areas in which he may be struggling, or any concerns you would like to discuss.

7. HAVE A LIST. Make a written list of your main questions and concerns. Give a copy to the teacher, and include all of your contact information. If you run out of time, ask that any unaddressed items or concerns be responded to by e-mail.

8. BRING AN ACTION PLAN. Prioritize your concerns and the steps that you feel should be taken to ensure that your child reaches his educational potential for the school year, and give a copy to the teacher. Make sure you leave the meeting knowing the next steps that will be taken to help your child succeed.

9. RESPECT THE NEXT PARENT. If you run out of conference time, schedule a follow-up meeting to address concerns that still need to be discussed.

10. THANK THE TEACHER.

11. FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR CHILD. A parent-teacher conference is an opportunity to praise the accomplishments and effort your child has made, and to discuss any areas that may need improvement. Use this opportunity to create short or long term goals, reinforcements, and expectations.
