“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14. The imagery embedded in this passage is quite striking. It is a fascinating image; the very fabric of our existence is meticulously woven and knit together, with all of the intricacies involved by our Creator God. We can then celebrate who God created us to be and His handiwork we see in the people we come in contact with. In a couple of weeks, on October 3rd, we will be hosting the Special Olympics Ontario 4-corners Bocce tournament at our school. We are very excited for this opportunity to be a blessing in our community and to show the love of Christ in this way. In preparation for this event the students will be learning a little bit about Bocce, the Special Olympics and how we can bless the athletes involved. We hope to recognize this opportunity to explore God’s good gifts. These visitors have been created, woven together, in the image of God; they are a gift to us on that day. In that same sense we hope to be a gift and use our gifts to be a blessing to the athletes and people visiting that day. I urge you again to come out and join us in welcoming everyone who is participating that day. We would love to have everyone out in the morning for a big welcome to kick off the day together. I found this quote/writing in a Youth Bocce magazine focusing and thought it was also worth sharing.
God’s Choosing by Roy Lessin
Just think, you are here not by chance but by God’s choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else. You are one of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace can’t give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history, to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. You are God’s servant in God’s place, at God’s perfect time.
