Ripple effect
Posted on February 24, 2016
Have you ever skipped a stone on a still lake? As the glass-like surface yields in response to the rock, the water ripples in widening patterns that seem to end only when they meet the shore. One little stone makes an impact on that lake.
Our students can have a great effect on the world around them. Whether in the home, church, classroom, or community, we can’t underestimate how God can use them to impact their world. We strive to educate them for life in hopes that their ripples will have a positive effect into eternity.
