"I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” –Jeremiah 31:3, NASB
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” –1 John 3:1, NIV

Shepherds Abiding
As the High School Bible Teacher at Quisqueya Christian
School, I have the privilege of speaking at chapel every now and then. This
past Wednesday I had the opportunity to teach on the meaning of Christmas
through Luke 2:1-21, focusing on Luke 2:8. In exploring why God would send
angels as messengers to shepherds in their fields, we see that God has a
shepherd’s heart. Christmas is about Jesus leaving home and living among us,
His sheep, and laying His life down for us, so that we might have His life.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd and Great King.

Gratitude for God's Faithfulness
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all
circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” –1
Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV
"Without worship, we go about miserable." –A.W.
Tozer
“The surest index of your spiritual and emotional well-being
is the degree of gratitude in your life.” –John Maxwell
As Quisqueya Christian School's High School Bible Teacher, I
often have the opportunity to speak at our chapel services. This was last
week's talk on "Gratitude for God's Faithfulness". Here I talk from
Luke 7:36-50 and Luke 17: 11-19, a sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet and Jesus'
cleansing the ten with leprosy. This talk explores the importance of, and the
essential nature of, gratitude, thanksgiving and worship. Gratitude is God's
will for our life.

Prayer of Thanksgiving
“Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy
servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us
and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and
all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the
redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and
for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies,
that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with
our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by
walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory
throughout all ages. Amen.”(Book of Common Prayer, p. 101)
