A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS
Dear Parents,
Someone once shared with me that he thought
I had one of the best jobs in the world
. He couldn’t imagine a better position than one in a Christian school, seeing children become who God created them to be and being used by God to help direct their footsteps.
And, he was right.
There are times, as adults, when the troubles and worries of this world rob us of the blessings God gives us. And, there are times we cannot see those blessings until we watch a child. What a joy to see the faith they have in their parent’s ability to fix anything with a simple kiss, their excitement in seeing a rabbit jump in the yard, or the peace their eyes when they are enfolded in mom or dad’s arms. It is a blessing to see them complete a challenging math problem or enjoy time at recess with a new friend. And, there is the
tremendous blessing of seeing a child come to faith.
It is my prayer that we keep our eyes open and recognize the blessings all around us. Thank you for allowing me to witness bountiful blessings through the lives of these precious children.
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3
Rejoicing in His love,
Carrie A. Powers
Wexford Campus Principal
