"Let The Little Children Come To Me."
The end of the school year will soon be here. In so many ways it has been a glorious year.
This may be the end of Preschool however I pray it will be the beginning of a lifetime for you and your children to continue your walk with Our Heavenly Father. Preschool parents I pray fervently that you continue to teach and instruct your little miracles that by your actions you show them, "Our Heavenly Father is most important to you!" As our power point presentation songs say, "I Want To Be Just Like You" and "I Am Watching You."
Believe me those precious eyes are!
My prayer for each and everyone of you is that everyday you give yourself to God and say, "Lord I am yours, I want to be a vessel fir for your use. I dedicate myself to you. I give you my hands, my mouth, my mind, my body, my money and my time. I am yours, do with me whatever you want to do today."
Once you dedicate yourself to God, that morning and then go on about your day but expect His leading all day long. Listen for His voice to direct you in the way you should go. Once you start this you will never look back.
In Closing
I cannot express enough thanksgiving to each and everyone of you! Thank you for entrusting me with your precious miracle. I will cherish my time that I had, though it was brief, the memory and love for you and your child will remain forever within my heart.
Parents, I am humbled by your generosity and kindness shown to our Preschool this past school year. For all the items purchased from the wish tree and the wish list, I marvel and know that Gos is so good! May each and everyone be blessed abundantly for all that you have done.
My time with you and your children has come to an end. God has placed us in each others lives for a reason. I cherish this gift from above. Always remember I will be there for you always.....always!!
Forever Friends In Christ,
Love & Prayers,
Mrs. Bieker
Spiritual Word For the Week
I Have Called You Friends (John 15:13 ) 
Years ago there was an old professor whose beautiful life was a wonder to his students. Some of them were determined to learn the secret of it, so one night they sent some one to hide in the study where the professor spent his evenings. It was very late when the teacher finally came. He was very tired but sat down and spent one hour with his Bible. Then he bowed his head in silent prayer, and finally closing the Book of books, he said, "Well Lord Jesus, we still have the same old relationship."
To know Christ is life's greatest achievement. At all costs, every Christian should strive to "have the same old relationship" with Him.
The reality of knowing Jesus comes as a result of hidden prayer, and personal Bible study that is devotional and consistent in nature. Christ becomes more real to those who persist in cultivating His presence.
A mother's patience of a saint could only be by the hand of God.
There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.Happy Mother's Day to some of the best momma's I Know!
OUT OF THE MOUTHES OF BABES: Something I believe one of my preschoolers could of easily said: Jesus Knocking: A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little one's chest, would plug the stethoscope in his ears and let them listen to their own hearts. She never to a response equal to four year old Davids'. Gently she tucked the stethoscope in his ears and placed the disk over his heart. "Listen she said, "What do you suppose that is?" He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap, tap, taping deep in his little chest. Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin, "Is that Jesus knocking?" he asked. Maybe we should all listen to our hearts?.....
Story Time: We have had some awesome books brought into school these past couple of weeks. Thank you so much for participating! However this week our schedule will change big time since it is our last week together. So hold off on the books! Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Prayer List & Request:

Asking Our Heavenly Father to place His loving and comforting arms around each and everyone on our prayer list. For Priest and religious life, for vocations. We pray for our schools, TMP, our new middle school and HFE. We pray for everyone that works at our schools and all the advisory boards and committees. Lord give us all the wisdom and knowledge to do your work.
We pray for all the ones that are suffering from cancer and all illness heal them Jesus! We pray for the ones that have died may their souls rest in peace and for the ones that are left behind and suffering with the pain of loss and loneliness may they truly feel your compassion. Heavenly Father you know all the request, you know them by need, it may be pain, heartache, loneliness, depression, old age you know every need and want. We place it at the foot of your cross and know that you hear and answer each and every prayer. We love you,we thank you, we trust you and we give thanks and praise for all our blessings. We ask this in Jesus name AMEN!
Enjoy The Presence Of God: Never forget to enjoy the presence of God. Life is always busy, so be careful that your quiet time doesn't become one of the many things on the list of things to do. Always remember, your first thing should be to spend some alone time with HIM.
Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: Grace O. comes back from her trip to Disney World.Mrs. Bieker asked, "Well Miss Grace how was your trip?" Grace smiles and said,"Good, but Mrs. Bieker it's just going to take to long to tell you." Well okay ...... then......

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: Grace S. Came to school and wrapped her arms around Mrs. Bieker and said, I have something really big to tell you! Okay Grace, I am listening, "Whats up sweetie?" Grace said, once again..."It's big Mrs. Bieker.....Mrs. Bieker sits down, picks Grace up puts her on her lap and said, "I am listening." Grace said, I saw my great grandma's face and my guardian angels face in the window. They were sprinkling Holy Water. Do you believe me ?" Grace, if you believe that is what you saw, I truly believe with what we saw in the gym, that yes, maybe God was giving you another gift." Grace responded with holding me and said, "Mrs. Bieker I knew you would believe me....I love you!" Okay now......Grace you made me cry!!!!

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: Claire Bear shared the book and CD "Cinderella." Well this was such a big hit that the children asked throughout the day if we could play it again. After about the fourth time, Jake pops up and said...."Enough already."
Had to keep the following Out Of The Mouths.......the students are still in awe!!!
Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: PB Class was in the auditorium practicing for graduation. All of a sudden the children saw a shadow against the stained glass windows. Brooke shouts out, "Our guardian angel." Eleanor screams out, "they are sprinkling holy water." Tessa says, "no....no....they are sprinkling angel dust. Deyton points and said, there's two of them and one is the big guy holding a cross! Okay, parents..they have heard me talk about angels all year. They have heard me say that some children are blessed by seeing their angels. So I knew what was happening on the roof, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell them. Werth heating and plumbing were trying to fix the air conditioning unit. But I do have to tell you the shape of the shadows and the tools how they were held looked very much like angels and a cross. Who knows....!!! I do know this.... I will never ever...ever forget the looks of your children. So memorable and tears truly tears came to all of us! 

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes: Caden S. covers his eyes and sighs......Mrs. Bieker goes up to him rubs his back and asked, "whats up little buddy?" Caden smiles looks up and Mrs. Bieker and responded with." "I'm your buddy but I am BIG." Oh...okay then....No problem!
