Principal’s Perspective – A devotional Message
We Belong
It is week seven of distance learning. It is another week of following the safer-at-home orders and maintaining social distancing. These things can definitely give us feelings of loneliness and isolationism. In some ways maybe we feel like an orphan.
Today’s verse is from John 14:18, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” The word orphan is not one we hear of a lot in today’s society. If you have ever seen Annie (old or new version), you know she was an orphan longing for a family and to be loved. In the end she ends up with a family and experiences the joy that having a family brings.
No matter the times or circumstances, God has promised to be with us. God has promised to love us and provide the things we need. God is always there for us. Our sinful nature will want to question God and ask why all this stuff with covid-19 is occurring. Our sinful nature wants us to see the negatives and not focus on God. God tells us in these words, “I will come to you.” Continue to put your faith and trust in our Lord and Savior who has a plan for us all.
Principal’s Perspective
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Today I am just going to say thank you for working with your children as the teachers can only work from a distance. Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you for being Christian parents sharing the love of God with your children. Thank you and God bless you!
