the final bell

As the final bell rings this school year, i join Paul in this prayer for you... my sisters and brothers in Christ.

"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,  being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ... you all are partakers with me of grace.  For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:3-6, 7-8
amen. 

Thank You, Father, for Your unconditional love and for the gift of fellow believers.  We can always depend on You to cover us -- whether at school or beyond.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
