Happy Wednesday!
Dear Families,
Can you believe that we are headed toward Easter and only have 9 weeks left of school? Wow. There is still so much left to accomplish. It can feel overwhelming at times, which is why Lent provides us a nice period of rest. I was reading a website the other day where it talked about Lent being "Spring cleaning for the soul"...an interesting thought. Here are some questions to reflect on during this time:
- Do I have a gracious and patient attitude with the people in my life?
- Do I look for the best in others or do I have a judgmental attitude?
- Do I have a thankful heart, or am I constantly complaining about situations and people in my life?
- When people look at me, do they see a reflection of Jesus...caring for those who are less fortunate?
I thought these were great questions. Even just reflecting on one per week might make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you!
Have a wonderful week!
