The things of this world that we know as light, like the sun and the moon, are tools that God made to shine the light that He created. In the same way that the moon dimly reflects the sun, we reflect God&#8217;s light as we interact in this world.<\/p>\n<p>How do we be this light? From John 13: 34, &#8220;Love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chargers &#8211; have a great year and may God grant you daily opportunities to shine HIS light!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First reflections on our 2023-2024 school year theme!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6851,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/6785"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vlhs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
