In our 20th Year Celebration there has not been a lot of opportunity to come together and encourage one another apart from what we could achieve via our online services.
Last Thursday night, we were finally able to come together as a community to raise a cheer for the ‘Class of 2020’. With the HSC behind us and our students gathering with families, albeit limited in number, there was a relaxed feeling of accomplishment and deep satisfaction.
It was a beautiful night and the occasion was wonderfully presented and appropriately acknowledged with wonderful words of encouragement and great wisdom shared with our graduating students. At this time, we need to pause and thank our God for His obvious hand of blessing upon our community. God never promises that we won’t have trials or tribulation, however, He does promise to ‘never leave us or forsake us’; I believe we have certainly experienced His provision and goodness at a very difficult time. This was very evident last night; this is the clarity we need to take with us as we speed towards the end of the year.
We need to maintain that 20/20 Vision that keeps us focused on the road ahead while we keep our eyes on Jesus – the author and perfecter of our faith.
Let’s spend time to pause and give thanks for what we have, cry out to God if we need His strength and support each other through difficulty with a generosity and forbearance enabled by God’s grace. It is a great time to be alive!
