The season has shifted on the calendar and now we are starting to see the other signs of the changing season. The leaves on the trees are definitely turning different colours. We definitely noticed this when visiting my parents in Barrie. The weather seems to be shifting as well as some of the days are darker, colder, and definitely wetter. In the midst of these transitional days we find our next holiday on the calendar. The feast of the harvest, the time we call Thanksgiving, comes to us at the changing of the season. We see again God’s faithfulness as one season rolls into the next. Psalm 100 is a Psalm of Thanksgiving. It is great to have part of this Psalm as our theme this year and it is a wonderful time of year to dedicate to Thanksgiving. We approach this day with a spirit of true thankfulness and carry that forward throughout the year. We express that thankfulness for all the Lord has done with words, songs, shouts, actions, and the way we live our lives. At school we will take some time to express our Thanksgiving in a chapel that will be held on Friday. You are more than welcome to join us on that day as Grade 7 will lead us in a time of reflection and thanksgiving. They are also encouraging the school community to share in their abundance as we commence a drive for food this week. We have been blessed and we are also called to be a blessing. Let us join together and help provide the differently blessed with the items they require. ~ Mr. Bouwers
