A favourite Christmas stories to read to my children is The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado. Joshua,
a lamb who didn’t fit in and was broken, believed he had nothing of value to offer
the newly arrived King. I won’t share his gift so you can enjoy the story for
yourself if you haven’t already, but the gift was one that the lamb hadn’t even
considered to be valuable.
Perhaps the truest delight of Christmas gift-giving (not
gift-getting) is recognizing the ability to give something that matches who you
are and what you believe is important, and then giving that gift to someone
else in way that is a rich blessing to them in ways they didn’t expect.
Prayer It is with
great joy that I hear of people who tell me they include the staff and students
of LCES in their regular prayer time. We thank you for remembering us in this
way.
Money We’ve been blessed
with financial means to take care of some pressing needs in our school that our
operating budget wasn’t expecting. Thanks for choosing to bless us and our
mission.
Time It is one of
the greatest gifts we are given by volunteers who offer the work of their helping
hands in support of who we are and we what we stand for.
Let’s rejoice together! We’re also thankful for students sharing their
gifts and talents. This Wednesday our students will share the story in word and
song of the very best gift ever given.
May God bless our students, families, and staff with a
joyous and safe Christmas break after this exciting week. God has great things in
store for LCES in 2020!
