“One generation commends your
works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious
splendor of your majesty and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell
of the power of your awesome works and I will proclaim your great deeds.” Psalm
145:4-6
The room was buzzing with activity,
people gathered around tables excited to get together and anticipating what was
in store for them. The grandparents came
pouring in and it was as if we were bursting at the seams. Grandparents’ day is a very exciting and
special day at our school. We got to explore
how God’s story and our story intersect.
Also, how the Grandparents’ story and the story of PCS entwine. And we
shared examples how the students’ story is wrapped up in all of those
stories. God’s threads run through all
of them. It weaves together to shape a
beautiful picture of community. This
multi-generational event demonstrates the truth we read in Psalm 145:4-6.
Part of this passage was on a t-shirt that our family wore for the family reunion this summer. It was a blessing to see my aunts, uncles, mom and dad, cousins, grandma and our little family wearing these shirts. It is part of our heritage of faith. This heritage is alive and well and we had a chance to celebrate that this weekend. We met with family and friends to celebrate mom and dad's 45th wedding anniversary. We are so thankful for their example and testimony in our lives.
Grandparents, in many cases, are the tangible
link to a wonderful, real life example of authentic faith. We thank God for grandparents and for the
role they play in the lives of our students.
Thank you to our grandparents, it was good to see you and we look
forward to seeing you again next year.
