| | Ahhhhhh. The smell of spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and school’s about to end! This is the time of year that all students like yourself love, because the sweet freedom of summer is knocking at your door, asking you to come out and play. But alas! There is still a month of school left, and you cannot yet accept that invitation to play. There are still papers to write, projects to be completed, and final exams to take, so with great reluctance, you tell your faithful friend summer that you’ll have to take a raincheck on that play-date until school is out… Okay, so maybe this imaginary scenario sounds a bit cheesy, but there is truth to be found in this little tale. Here it is: In this last month of school, resolve to finish the year strong. Work hard and do your best to the very end. Don’t let spring fever and the dreaded Senioritis get the best of you; rather, follow the advice of the Apostle Paul when he wrote, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3:23-24) So students: As you finish your school year out, strive to honor God and bring glory to Him by doing your best in whatever you do, whether that is your homework, papers, projects, or finals. Finish strong! And with that, we’ll let the Apostle Paul have the last word: “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17). |
