Let your light shine. The words from Matthew 5:16 follow the
Beatitudes with these words, “In the same way…”
This, of course, is referring to putting a light on a stand in the house
so everyone can see. In doing so the
light is shared as it casts out the darkness and shadows of every corner in the
room. In the same way, we are called to
shine as obvious as a city up on a hill for everyone to see. We are to be that
obvious and that bold. We are called not
to hide our light under a bowl but let it shine, all the time. Jesus reminds us that we are the light of the
world. Let us combine our lights to
shine even brighter for our King. It is
written like a command or a task from God, “…let your light shine before
men.” As we unpack what that means at
PCS we will discuss the who, what, where, when, why and how of this passage in
light of the beatitudes.
We are so thankful to have an
amazing God who loves and cares for us and this school. The staff members are excited to teach and
train your children this year. Welcome
back to our returning families and a special welcome to all of our new
families. Ask your child about the new
students in their class and find ways to be warm and welcoming to our newest
community members. One way we do this is
at the Welcome Back Social on Thursday.
We look forward to seeing you there. ~ Mr. Bouwers
