First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.”  Romans 1:8

The influence of a teacher goes way beyond the classroom and ripples into decades past the interaction between student and teacher. Students will be reminiscing about how a teacher made a difference in their life at class reunions, with their own children, and even their grandchildren.  The work that you are doing is tough—real tough—but it’s worth it! It’s the gentle support of a teacher, the encouragement to not give up, and the prodding to keep moving forward that can be transformational in the lives of students.  As teachers, we need support, encouragement, and inspiration to continue the calling of teaching.

This is why we created the SavED By Grace blog to provide weekly inspiration to you in your work as an educator. This month, we celebrate the one year anniversary of SavED by Grace. This date marks the connections, interactions, teachings, and networking of thousands of you who have participated in the blog. The response and participation with this blog has been way beyond our wildest dreams, God has expanded its reach and audience.

As you focus on inspiring hope and grace to your students, we want to encourage you by sharing the top five most popular and most read blog posts from the SavED by Grace first year of publishing.
