From Middle School Principal Mr. Curtis Miller
As many of you know former First Lady, Barbara Bush recently passed away in Texas. Often regarded as one of her best quotes she noted the importance and impact of treating other people with respect and love. “Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people – your family, friends, and coworkers, and even the strangers you meet along the way. -Barbara Bush. The single most important thing, beyond a relationship in Jesus Christ, that we can teach our young people is to treat others with love and respect. Our lives are gift given to us by God to live out here on earth doing His work for His purpose.
Pastor Maack from Lutheran Mission Society provided us a message at Chapel today thanking the students for all Concordia Prep is doing to support the Lutheran Mission Society. The service work or the money we have donated can feel like a small part or small measure to help an organization with 10 compassion centers, but how significant and impactful even the smallest of gifts can have on others who need it. LMS continues to do such important work throughout the Baltimore metro area to bring Jesus Christ to all. Concordia Prep will continue to partner with LMS to bring the much-needed message of Jesus Christ love and sacrifice for our lives, but also to continue to grow young men and women in our school who measure their lives by the way they treat their family, friends, coworkers, and especially strangers they meet along the way. Proverbs 3:27 says, “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” God has given us the hands, feet, and resources to act and we know that God has blessed our students, staff, and families with more good than we will ever be able to count of fully grasp. May we all continue to measure the success of our lives by the way we treat other people as spoke by Barbara Bush, “Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people- your family, friends, and coworkers, and even the strangers you meet along the way.”
