Give God the Glory






Dear Parents,

Yesterday we held our annual Senior / Freshmen breakfast.  The goal of this meeting is for the seniors to fellowship with freshmen, and to share some advice with them about how to maneuver their way to the senior year without catastrophic consequences.  Here is some of the advice sahred:

1.     Be yourself.
2.     Do what you want to do.  Being on a sports team is not a requirement to be known.
3.     Don’t panic if you feel lost.  It will get better.
4.     Avoid the urge to get a boyfriend or girlfriend.  Seriously, I know you have raging hormones and everything, but it is not necessary. Relax.”
5.    Remember you are here to glorify God. 

Remember you are here to glorify God.  Wow!  Out of the mouths of babes.

Parents, don’t we as adults need that reminder as well?  It is so easy to get lost in out pride and performance.  Our days are evaluated on our own selfish agendas and not a give-God-the-glory-agenda.

When I heard #5 yesterday, I was once again reminded that the student often teaches the teacher. 

Thanks seniors!
