I AM A PROMISE

Smiles






I am a promise with a  capital “P”
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin' to hear God's voice
And I am tryin' to make the right choice
I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be


I can go anywhere that He wants me to go
I can be anything He wants me to be
I can climb the high mountains
I can cross the wide sea
I'm a great big promise you see!


I am a promise
I am a possibility
I am a promise with a capital “P”
Kinder
I am a great big bundle of potentiality
And I am learnin' to hear God's voice
And I am tryin' to make the right choice
I am a promise to be anything God wants me to be
Anything God wants me to be
Fun

Luke 18:16

New International Version (NIV)
16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.



Aren't they? A "promise?"

Each child is a promise, a possibility, a bundle of potentiality.  This is the song which Nigel and his kindergarten class will sing today as they graduate.  Isn't it so apt?

Any child could become what God promises him or her to be.  It is great delight for us to have partners in building the life of each child...... "learn to hear God's voice, and try to make right choices."  They are the teachers in school and in church.  They have one big responsibility, as do parents.  Not only in Academics, but also in Godly living.

It is our hope that the mentors would dedicate their time and efforts, in working with parents, to make an impact to a child's character.  Soon they will be the future leaders, teachers, doctors, engineers, accountants, writers and so many fields of endeavor.  And we got a hand in this.  

May we be able to usher them into a world of great possibilities, into the exciting and breath-taking world of many opportunities.  And may in all of these, there will always be God at the center.

It is my prayer that they will be assisted, nurtured in a loving environment, trained in the Word of God, and will have a deep knowledge of who they are in the eyes of the Father in heaven.  They are precious to Him.

I will post photos of Nigel's graduation soon.

  3. That song is always so uplifting... and I pray with you for those children. Sometimes it is hard to believe that there is still that "possibility" in us all too :) But there is! God is using your possibility!
