Dear Parents & Friends,
We are entering into one of my
favorite seasons of the church.
The anticipation and knowledge
that Advent brings us one step
closer to the birth of Jesus and
the salvation of the world is an
amazing reality. Sadly, it also
makes me feel a tremendous
sense of guilt, wondering what I
have done to deserve such a
sacrificial gift.
Even in our earthly lives, we
may never know why or how
someone can love us so much,
always offering forgiveness and
second chances. I learned a
long time ago, instead of
questioning, just appreciate the
special people God has put into
our lives and let them bring the
joy of the Advent Season into
your hearts. As the bible says,
if even those who are sinners on
this earth are able to show such
love, how much more must our
Father in Heaven love us to
send His only Son? Perhaps its
best to be a blessing to others
rather than to question the gift.
God Bless!

DECEMBER VIRTUE
The students and staff began
the month of December today
with a joyful prayer service. All
this month we will be practicing
and identifying the virtue of Joy.
Students who do a great job of
this will be entered into a
drawing at the end of the month.
