Jake's Brown Paper Bag

Jake is in the 5th Grade and one of his first assignments was to fill a brown paper bag with 3 things that represent him.  He asked me what I thought represented him best.  I was busy making dinner and I rambled off what came to mind and would fit in the paper bag.

When I opened his bag he had his bible in it.  My eyes filled with happy tears.  His bible is not something I rambled off, though it should of been!

 My boy is intensely in love with Jesus! He brings his bible to school in his back pack everyday.

He brought his filled paper bag to school and wrote his story.  

All the 5th grade paper bag stories hang in a hallway.

It reads:

Paper bag by Jacob C.

Hi my name is Jacob C! I'm 11 years old. And my birthday is on October 2nd. So far I think school is awesome. In my bag my mom and me pick out star wars clone trooper because star wars is cool. And a football because sport's are fun. last but not least a bible.

To begin with I brought my bible because Jesus is very close to my heart. My mom gave it to me.  And I keep it in my backpack.

Also I brought a clone tropper since I love star wars. And it reminds me of my dad who loves star wars to. His name id commander Neyo.

Finally I brought a football because I love sports. Such as basketball, football and baseball.  In my opinion I like basketball the best.

I enjoyed telling you about me.  I can't wait to read my friends. I am looking forward to a great school year at Meadowview Elementary School.

This is Jake with his school issued iPad.  His background wallpaper is a picture of Jesus.

Jake has a gentle spirit.  He tells me he thinks about God all the time and I pray he always hears the small whispers from God.

He listens to Christian music in is room. His radio is never turned off, not even overnight.

Oh Jake always keep Jesus close to your heart.  Always be brave sharing the word of God.  Always keep your bible close.  Always serve others.  Always take the paths that God has for you.  Remember Jesus is always with you so don't take him somewhere you would not want him to be.  Always remember His love will never fail you.

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.

God has his hand on you.  

Be brave and never be ashamed of the gospel!

You are such a blessing and I love you!
