1.) Passage from “Bread for the Journey: A Daybook of Wisdom and Faith” by Henri Nouwen
At one of the Principal meetings this week Assistant Superintendent Justyna King shared the passage below and I wanted to share it with you
The Still, Small Voice of Love
Many voices ask for our attention. There is a voice that says, “Prove that you are a good person.” Another voice says, “You’d better be ashamed of yourself.” There is also a voice that says, “Nobody really cares about you.” and one that says, “Be sure to become successful, popular, and powerful.” But underneath all these often very noisy voices is a still, small voice that says, “You are my Beloved, my favor rests on you.” That’s the voice we need to hear most of all. To hear that voice, however, requires special effort; it requires solitude, silence, and a strong determination to listen.
That’s what prayer is. It is listening to the voice that calls us “my Beloved.”
2.) Early Learning Virtual Professional Development Day: Registration Opens on Tuesday, January 18th
