What great thing happened to you today?
What bad thing happened to you today?
Something that is done around our dinner table each and every night that we eat together is your High and Low of the day. As I sit and reflect on what happened this morning here at Redeemer and at the schools of DeWitt, it is hard for me to even imagine anything getting better for the day.
For those who don't know today is a national holiday for students across the nation. Today is "See You At The Pole" Day. Middle, Jr.High, High School, and College students across our country gathered this morning at flag poles in front of schools to show their faith and share Jesus with whomever drives up to the school.
As it is a holiday for students, we at Redeemer feel it necessary to celebrate and with that celebration we had over 40 youth in our Student Center for breakfast which started at 6:15 this morning.
At the schools; It's so awesome when we go to where God is and He shows up BIG TIME!!! At each school: Herbison Woods, the Jr. High, and Sr. High students circled the flag pole grabbed a hand and prayed for their country, their school, each other, and a host of other things. It was truly awesome. For the kids to show their love of the Father in front of everyone. I can't begin to tell you how proud of the students, we in the Student Ministry, are of the youth of this community. Parents, you are doing great and we appreciate your support of our ministry.
One last thing. As kids finished praying at the High School, I experienced my High of the day. A group of 6 kids went to the other side of the sidewalk in front of the main doors and welcomed each and every kid that came to school. The highlight for me was when one student kind of ignored the group and one of our students yelled at him; it's all right Jesus loves you anyway. I hope that as you go through this day you find some time for reflection and conversation with our Father in Heaven. Pray!!!
Pray for our church, our ministries, our congregation. Pray for our leaders, whether worldly, nationally, or locally. Give thanks to the Maker of All for all He has done. That could very well be your High today!!!
