What do you as Teacher offer to your children in the classroom?

One day, I was eating an avocado.  When I was eating the avocado, I learned how to cut and peel the skin from the avocado.  In this act of order in day to day living, I began offering this simple day to day living as a formed good to those who looked to me as teacher.

An avocado?

What's so teachable about an avocado?

Well, a TEACHER needs to eat.

How she prepares her meals and decides how to eat what she eats requires planning.

A TEACHER and HER plans for the future ~

The LESSON and the PLAN by Meryl Viola Bravo, M.A.

When you reflect on your position as a Teacher and God has provided you the classroom and the people you will be forming for the next school year; What you are asking from your children and students is to be cooperators to the DESIGN of HIS WORK and HIS PLAN FOR THEM!

What are the plans for the next school year and how to plan ahead?

For EVERY CLASS LESSON there is an objective.

For EVERY GRADE LEVEL there is an objective.

What are these objectives in HIS DIVINE plan?

Yes, there are State Standards and there are formative and informative assessments that require you to evaluate the objectives being completed.

Yes, there are reasons for your wanting to teach.

WHAT are your reasons for wanting to teach?

Ms. Meryl Viola Bravo, Teacher and Educator

The FIRST AGENDA for every TEACHER is to love her students.
The SUMMER is your time to enjoy being who you are to them.  Before you step out into SUMMER planning, who will you become to them when you are exhausted from trying to offer a planned readiness?

Lesson plans and a daily offering is you as a human person.
Throughout your day to day living, God will tell you who your students will be.  God will tell you what they are desiring from you as their teacher.  Are you a teacher who knows God?

TEACH who you are as a PERSON!

What are you doing during your summer vacation before the school year begins again?
The order of your grace and proper life will be reflected in the plan ahead.

WHO is TEACHER?

GOD OR HIS divine MASTER plan for you as a human person.
Do you rest when it is time to rest?
Do you eat when it is time to eat?

The Art of Intention - When the Artist has an intention

The Virgin and Child

It was the Liturgical Season of Advent when I painted this offering to my parents. 

What are the distances in YES

Do you know the Corn Flakes in your cereal have a reason for being Flakes?
What you eat for breakfast tells you the beginning of the day and how you make your beginning begin tells us the seriousness of YES.

YES to God.
YES to GOOD.

Do you know what is good and in the morning rise, are you ready for saying YES?
What God will ask of you on this present rise will enable you to say YES.
God is asking you.

Is your answer YES?

As a young female human being, I learned how to write from education and school my mother and father distinctly made was a very important need to deliver.  Yes, deliver.  For education is necessary to live a good and happy life.

Now, how is education a part of Human Happiness, you ask?

I learned the meaning of the WORD!

The Saints are Friends of God - Ask them about their First Holy Communion

THE FATIMA CHILDREN

When the Fatima Children received Holy Communion there were intimate desires in their whole heart and soul, and their mind put this into action through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the The Holy Trinity dwelling in them.

The Grace of Sanctifying and Actual participation in this Act of Faith should be associated in their actions.

Their preparation should be preparing their hearts towards Heaven and an Eternal participation of a living and authentic reality of death and the relational condition this brings to the present formed decision in receiving the Sacrament for the first time.

What the children are not receiving in fullness is the humility of a friend of God.
Yes, the children are not being formed in the grace.
Yes, the grace.

It is the grace of the soul.
Do you know what the white dress of the sanctified soul looks like, dear children?
The white dress of sanctification is your action and this is effective in grace and behavior among the Friends of God.
Only the Friends of God understand this sanctification.

What are the decisive reasons a gift of grace is offered to a human dignity of living?

Who is offering the gift?

The dearest kindness that comes of their character is an innocence of knowing suffering.
