Welcome to WHH’s annual Awards Ceremony! This year marks the tenth year of WHH. It began as Appel School in Sara’s living room, and then progressed to Logos Recitations in the attic of the Logos library. Now, here we are, ten years later, at BBF and TRC. The Lord has been kind.
Our heavenly father likes to mark time. In Psalm 90 Moses asks Him to teach us to number our days. So here we are: 294 Fridays (minus covid and one day with a gas outage), forty-six graduates, 576 Old Western Culture videos, fifty-four dissections, twenty family projects, nineteen plays, and countless smarties.
What we cannot number is God’s kindness towards us. Psalm 40 says, “Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” More than can be numbered. If we started counting right now of God’s mercies toward WHH, towards your family, towards each student, we would not stop. They cannot be numbered.
As we gather this morning to acknowledge God’s grace toward each of the 137 students in Alfred and Edington, we can at least recount a few of those blessings, such as the bagged lunches, the many books, the answered prayers, the skilled teachers, and the sweet friendships that God has granted us over the years. We may not be able to number them, but we can thank Him for these good gifts.
