Blessings! This week I spoke to the LogicSchool kids about the blessings given to us by our great and mighty God. They are without number. This week the middle schoolers had less homework, more free time, longer lunches, movies, early release, friends, and fellowship. We woke up to the glory of His wonderful creation. We lived in a free country. We ate good food daily and drank clean water. We prayed for others and ourselves. We laughed and played. We were safely tucked in our beds each night. But our biggest blessing of all is that Christ died on the cross for us and took our sin upon Himself that we might live eternally with Him in heaven.
Now that testing is over and we have had a restful week, finish the third quarter with diligence and joy! The quarter ends on March 7th.
Spring Break will be here soon, March 17-21.
