being proper

"Show proper respect to everyone. Love the family of believers, fear God, honor the king."1 Peter 2:17

The week was filled with posters, smiles, stickers and cheerful chatter for school elections.  With proper guidance, direction and leadership, i found the school elections and national elections similar but also very different.  Both boost of a wide field of candidates providing moments of chaos, and at times calmness.  Yet the best and most encouraging difference with our school elections was the respect candidates showed to each other. Competing with politeness was the rule... promoting their own strengths and dreams, not picking each other apart.  

Shouldn't that be true regardless of the age or experience of the candidate?  Sometimes the better example comes from the most unexpected places.

Thank you, students, i see signs of hope for the future through you.  You've been taught and led well. May you keep following wisdom and Truth. Thank you, teachers and parents for a job well done.

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