The Gift

In the past few weeks, Unity Christian School received word that a family wanted to give us a gift of major proportions. It would be, in fact, the largest single gift to UCS in our school's history.

I'm constantly amazed at how God uses people to advance His kingdom. In the post just below this one, you read about how in the past decade so many people have worked so hard to take UCS from its extremely humble beginnings to where it is now. I assure you, we are continuing to move forward and working for the days when we look back at this one and say, "Wow...look how far we've come."

While God was using those people to build UCS, He was blessing a family that looked to Him above all else. This family knows that everything they have comes from God, and they give back to Him in extremely generous ways. This is not their first showing of generosity toward UCS, and I'm sure UCS is just one of the groups they help support. I also believe that if God didn't use those pioneers I mentioned earlier to continue to build UCS and put people in place that would keep doing His work, families like this one would never give their money, talent, time and efforts to this school. Their excitement for the future of UCS is built on what's already happened here. (When we are faithful with a few things, we will be put in charge of many things.) It's truly amazing to look back and see how God has taken the efforts and blessings of so many people and brought them together for His glory.

Now, as we continue to run with perseverence the race marked out for us, we continue to be thankful for the people that God has brought into our family who make it possible for us to keep running. To those of you who continue to give and continue to pray, thank you.
