Jesus
taught us, saying: “So always treat others as you like them to treat you; that
is the Law and the Prophets.” Mathew 7:12
Almighty
and merciful God, in Your goodness keep me, I pray, from all things that may
hurt me, that I, being ready both in mind and body, may accomplish with a free
heart those things which belong to Your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
I was pretty tired after I got home from family
dinner last night. Um, like sort of dizzy tired. I had done lots of leaping
about at school in my feeble attempt to drag attention away from who had called
whom what, and towards the finer points of public speaking and the rubric and
the reflection paragraph on What did I learn? and eegees for any class that was
able to finish all of their presentations. Why
do you jump around so much, Miss? So I got up at four this morning to make lots
of fancy certificates:
Excellence in
Science Award
Presented to
Sasha Bilbeisis
For demonstrating excellence and
inspiring others
to perform at their best
WE ARE A BETTER TEAM BECAUSE OF YOU.
And as I ran my mind down the
list of 147 names, I considered each child. Each child who now holds a little
piece of my heart. And each one is not his or her worst moment. Each one is a
child of the King, so loved.
And I pray to the King of the
Harvest that He will prove His faithfulness, even where I proved of little
faith. And timid. And weary. But the seed
has been sown. And some has surely fallen by the waysides and among the thorns.
But Dear Almighty
and Merciful God, may some fall in fertile soil, and
produce a harvest thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times.
Because it is all about Your goodness. For Yours are the
kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
