We celebrated Grandparents Day here at Castledockrell N.S. on the 28th of January, 2015. All Grandparents were invited to the school for an afternoon of prayer, discussion and chat. We were delighted with such a great attendance and thank all of those who made such an effort to be with us on the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to hear about their grandparents school days and joined them in a special prayer service. The afternoon was brought to a lovely close with a cup of tea and lots of cake! Thanks again to all who made this a really special event in our calender. Grandparents Day - We are Called to Serve with Joy
We have invited all grandparents into the school on Wednesday, 28th of January at 1pm to celebrate Grandparents Day. We will pay tribute to the role that they play in handing on the faith to their grandchildren. Grandparents bring such joy to the lives of their grandchildren and we know that the grandchildren, in turn, can bring great joy to their grandparents lives too. Grandparents teach us how to serve God as they pass on their faith to all of us. A Grandparent's Prayer Oh Lord, I do not ask for much, Eternal beauty, or youth, or such. Just give me a little hand to hold, And I'll forget that I'm growing old. I do not ask for cloudless skies, A life that's free from tears and sighs. Just give me a little face to kiss, And anxious moments will turn to bliss. For what is there, really, that means so much As little hands that reach and touch, As little eyes that search and see Only the best in fragile me? So let me grow more loving and wise By looking at life through their wide eyes. For through these little ones, you have given This grateful grandparent a glimpse of Heaven. |
