“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:4,5
Dear Greenfield Family,
Over the past couple of weeks we have been focusing on an attitude of gratitude, which starts with a devoted heart of prayer and seeking God first in all that we do. If thanksgiving is how we respond to God’s goodness in our life, gratitude is what we feel in the depths of our heart. It is the well by which we can draw authentic expressions of thanksgiving. Each morning I have been reading different verses about thanksgiving and praise to our Lord. What a wonderful blessing it is to share this with your kids everyday!
“Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.” Job 12:12 reminds us of the value of speaking with those who are older and who have more understanding. This morning we had a wonderful time welcoming our grandparents on campus. Their presence is very special as we honor the generations before. I love that at GCS we are able to take the time to celebrate the wisdom of “age.” We also teach our students that honoring the elderly is part of God’s grand design. This is a true blessing that we do not take for granted. Enjoy your long weekend giving thanks to God for the blessings He bestows!
Impacting the world for Christ,
Mrs. Majeski
