STOP THE PRESS- BIG NEWS
The exciting news is we have acquired a portable building that will be delivered to us in the last week of May. To prepare for this we need to have the site fenced and excavated. The excavation will commence on Monday morning and hopefully will be finished on Tuesday. There may be some disruption to the carpark while this is happening so please be patient with us, as eventually, this will be a great asset to the school. It won't be ready for use immediately as it will take some time for the building to be fitted out.
Dear Parents – especially Mothers
“I’d like to be an ideal mother, but I’m too busy raising my children.” Author unknown.
Even though this might be the situation for you, make sure that on Mother’s Day you are not too busy to take time to rejoice in yourself, because:
“Happy Mothers’ Day means more than have a happy day.
Within these words lie lots of things we never get to say.
It means, I love you, first of all, then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me and that I honour you.” Nicholas Jordan.
There is a saying: “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short time but their hearts forever”, author unknown and a Chinese proverb: “There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother owns it.”
There are many ways to answer the question, “What is Motherhood?” and one of those ways might be that Motherhood means sharing in the creative power of God. Conceiving, carrying, and giving birth to a human being, is as close as any person can get to the act of creation. This is the beginning of Motherhood but it is far from the end. Motherhood is also about nurturing, sacrificing, loving and, ultimately, letting go.
Jan Chrouchin, a Baptist Minister, has these thoughts to share in her “Mothers’ Day Creed”:
“I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who was born of the promise to a girl named Mary.
I believe in the love Mary gave her Son that caused her to follow him in his ministry and stand by his cross as he died.
I believe in the love of all mothers and its importance in the lives of the children they bear.
It is stronger than steel, softer than down, and more resilient than a green sapling on a hillside.
It closes wounds, melts disappointments, and enables the weakest child to stand tall in the fields of adversity.
Thank God for mothers and thank mothers for helping us to understand an all-loving God.”
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!
HAPPY GRANDMOTHERS’ DAY!
Keep smiling
