Class of 2021 -- Blog #5 -- Your Christmas Wish for the World

It's almost December -- my favorite month of the year!  This semester is quickly drawing to a close, and we are only a few short weeks away from Christmas!  Lists have been made, and shopping has begun.  Trees are being decorated, and stockings are being hung on mantles!  It's the most wonderful time of the year!  (Hey, that sounds like a song!!) 

 All of us love the presents and frivolity of the season -- of course!  However, when we really think of the season, there is so much more.  If we really look at our "needs" vs. our "wants," I would guess that there are few things that many of us really need.  We have so much -- what more could we really need?

In our world, there is so much turmoil.  There is so much stress.  There is so much hurt.   Wouldn't it be great, if we could just wrap up a present - a wish?  What if we were able to make things go away; or we could make things better?  Don't you wish we could make things happier?

 

 That is your quest for this blog response.  If you could grant a Christmas wish for the world, what would it be?  Wishes are "big-picture" things.  Your wish must be realistic and wholesome, although maybe not truly possible.   Your wish must make the world a better place. 

 

So, what would your Christmas wish for the world be?  Please write a minimum of FIVE sentences for FIVE extra credit points.  This blog will close on Friday, 12/16.  

Merry Christmas to you all!  Write on! 

Class of 2021 -- Blog #4 I Am Thankful . . . My "Top 5"!

November is here, and it is finally beginning to feel like autumn.  This is my favorite season of the year, and one of those reasons is because of Thanksgiving.

We truly have so much for which to be thankful, and I'm afraid that sometimes we possibly take so many of our blessings for granted.  We always need to be mindful of the MANY ways in which God blesses our lives.

What are the "Top 5" things for which you are thankful?

Here are mine:

• My family is so very special to me,and I thank God for them every day.
• I am so thankful to be healthy in a world full of people who are struggling with cancer and other diseases.
• I sometimes forget that one of the greatest blessings for which to be thankful is that fact that God loved ME enough to send His Son, Jesus, to this world to die for my sins.  Wow!  What a blessing! 
• I'm so very blessed to be part of Goodpasture Christian School.
• I'm thankful for each one of my students -- past and present.  You are all very special, and I cannot wait to see what life holds for each of you.  

Your blog responses are worth FIVE (5) extra credit points, IF you follow these guidelines:

Post in at least FIVE complete sentences -- but you may use bulletpoints. (You may use mine as a template.)  Also, please use proper spelling, punctuation and grammar, along with good sentence structure.

This blog will close on Thursday, November 24th (Thanksgiving Day) at midnight!

Happy Turkey Day!  Write on!
