A Thank you note from Betty

The Gift

The life of a person grows and evolves on a number of principles,  some of which are not easily seen or noticed,  but do exist.  An example is when someone cares.

Likewise, there are many kinds of  gifts and like the growth of a person, some gifts grow without you realizing it. Such as the gift of a treasured friendship. The gift of friendship is so sweet that you can’t describe the feeling in your heart  unless it happens in your daily life.   A friend will look beyond what an ordinary person might see, things both big and small, and find ways to show the love of God towards us. Things you can’t imagine. Rock of Ages Academy has been richly blessed with such friendship.

Recently we had someone visit us at school.  They spent time with the kids, had lunch and experienced the artificial fork, (eating using fingers or hands). This visitor was touched and the Lord used him to bless the school with the simple gift of spoons.

When the spoons were delivered and the kids realized they were going to get to use them, they began cheering, dancing and clapping as it was something they longed for. They began to use the spoons immediately! We have more than enough spoons for all for which we are thankful to the Lord and the friends who managed to make this possible.

Here at Rock of Ages we say, “Thank you, and May the Lord bless you richly and mightily".
