Paris and Letting Your Light Shine

These are the thoughts and reflections of Stephanie, one of our Grade 4 students.  I think it is beautiful.

Her thoughts begin with a quote that Stephanie's teacher, Mrs. Struyk had on the blackboard this morning.  Here is the quote:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."  Martin Luther King Jr.

Here is Stephanie's reflection and her words of wisdom.  "This quote is similar to our school theme because "Let your light shine" makes darkness go away and letting your light shine is showing love to those who hate.  I think this has to do with the attacks on Paris because the people who attacked Paris might hate Paris and its laws, so if Paris shows them hate, it will get war.  But, if they show love to the bandits, it will create hope for a change."

Thanks for letting me share this important message of hope, Stephanie.  You are demonstrating how the love of Christ works.
