So long sweet summer…

Hello school year!

2023-2024

…our *8th* year of Dayspring Academy!

And we’re all still alive to tell the tale!

(If that doesn’t make you believe in the grace of God, nothing will 😉

This year we have a school brimming with bright pupils…

A 7th grader

A 5th grader

(who spilled on his shirt right before the photo…hence the creative prop)

and

A 4th grader

And our (somewhat bewildered, always excited)
Diva Dog / Furry Sidekick

And how did our first day go, you ask?!?!?!?

With good intentions, and then plenty of yawns, groans and bumps.

And what does a Wright do in the face of such challenges?!?!?!?

Toss the books and head to the trail (donuts and Furry Sidekick in hand).

Smiles returned.

Pep talks were spoken.

Prayers were lifted up.

And then we began again…

God’s grace for the win!!!!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3: 22-24

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3: 14-19
