I want to give a big thank you to all of the parents who helped out today! Mrs. Murphy, Mr. Palomo, Mrs. Mellor, Mrs. Filippini, & Mrs. Champin.
Parents - Thank you for all the help this year! That includes driving on field trips, bringing food for our parties, collecting recyclables (Mr. Mellor), fundraising, and all the other things you did for our class. Thank you for sending your students to a good, Christian school. You are showing them Jesus, protecting them, and doing a great job as parents.
Students - I will miss you terribly, especially those of you who are not coming back to DRCS next year. You are an extraordinary group of students, and I am so blessed to have been able to teach you this year. Thank you for being such a great first class for me.
If there's anything I want you to remember the rest of your life, it's not the names of the 4 nitrogen bases in your DNA, it's not the phases of mitosis or meiosis, it's not the Pythagorean Theorem, and it's not how to graph quadratic functions (although these things are awesome, worth remembering, and have God's fingerprints all over them). If there's anything I really want you to remember the rest of your life, it's God's immeasurable love for each of you. He has given each one of you countless blessings, from family members, to friends, to gifts and abilities. I hope you will remember the Sermon on the Mount and all of the wisdom Jesus has given you, personally, as a GIFT! Don't take it for granted. Build your house on the rock, so that when you reach the end of your life, Jesus will not say to you, "Depart from me, I never knew you," (Matt. 7:23) but He will say to you, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matt. 25:23). That is my prayer for each one of you.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5: 3-12
Thank you, Brent, for this amazing gift! I will treasure it always!
