Livingston Christian Schools Home

When I think of all the people for whom I’m most thankful it spans a long period of time (because I’m old).  I still remember the day I gave my life to Christ in junior church at Highland Park Baptist Church after Mrs. Key completed a flannelgraph Bible story.  She and two other ladies (Aunt Hester and Miss Anne), who taught kids during the church service will always be prominent among those for whom I’m thankful. All three have been in heaven for a long time, having passed years ago.  One day I’ll thank them personally for the time they spent every Sunday guiding kids like me toward God and salvation. Of course it was the Holy Spirit who worked through those ladies to bring the right message to reach my heart and make me see how much I needed to make Jesus my savior and lord of my life.  However, it was because of the three ladies and their willingness to spend their time preparing and praying for what God called them to do with the kids that God was able to reach me that Sunday. Now, forward to present day - we have teachers, families, support staff, and board members who are doing the same thing the three ladies did back in 1955.  They are daily preparing lessons, caring for children at home and school, leading lives that emulate Christ’s, using their gifts of leadership to assure Christ remains first in families and LCS, and are seeking to prepare children for a needy world where they will one day lead and share God’s love with others. God uses people to accomplish his plan. And that’s LCS; I’m thankful for each of you this Thanksgiving as we seek to accomplish our common goal of serving our Lord and Savior.
