This week in Junior School, we’ve become quite the green thumbs! Now, you may find this sentence a little confusing – and I agree, as I’m sure if we had our junior school students in the garden, you would know when they would come home with grubby hands and dirt under their fingernails!
But I am talking about a different type of gardening that the students have been learning in Manners Matter. You may like to ask them what they have been planting to remind and encourage them to sow seeds that help them to love, honour and serve one another.
We as a staff at Thomas Hassall see the great joy it is to follow Jesus and we endeavour to share with our students what means to be loved by Him.
“God sent his Son to die in our place to take away our sins. That is how much God loved us, dear friends! So, we also must love each other.” 1 John 4:10-11
We see being green thumbs for Christ is a response to the loving King and Saviour, the Lord Jesus, who has so freely given us the gift of eternal life. What a way to give thanks to Jesus by imitating Him, serving one another with compassion and love.
