COURAGE

Hi Kids! It's Uncle Mark!
Do you remember what our subject was last week?
That's right- COURAGE!
The Little Wolf taught us all what courage is about! If you're tempted to fear, if your tempted to give up-DON'T! Take COURAGE! Even if your best friends tell you it is impossible, the seas are too rough, tie up in port, you're too small, too young, too...whatever; if you have courage God can help you to do it! "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me." (Ph 4:13) "Be strong & of a good courage, fear not" (Deut. 31:6) This is our memory verse for the week! (You can listen to it by clicking on it in the "TUNES" player on the right.)

Read also about the courage of Queen Esther in "The Book of Esther" & how she didn't fear the king to save her people. Do you know any other stories in the Bible about courage? Or maybe you have one of your own. Have your parents help you write it up & we will put it here on the blog for all to read!

Neighborhood clean up story by Andrea

On the morning of July 8^th 2008, my sister Shayne, my friend Casey, and I went with Auntie Lily on a trash pick-up adventure. It was originally supposed to be our exercise time (we walk around the block in our rural neighborhood) but we decided to take a large black garbage bag & pull wagon along just in case we saw any litter on the side of the road. We played a fun game where all of the glass bottles were bonuses. Whenever someone picked something up they had to tell everyone else what it was and if it was a glass bottle they would yell “BONUS!”.

Well we hadn’t gone very far up the street when we saw Lea, our neighbor, driving toward us in his little golf cart with his dog Katie. He had seen us as we had walked past his house and decided to see if we needed any help. He had also brought more bags to put the trash in. We decided to tie the wagon to the back of the cart. We then put the trash in the back of the cart and took turns riding in the wagon. About half way around the block the heat was almost unbearable! So most of us piled into the golf cart and I rode in the wagon, but we were still on the look out for trash. Whenever one of us saw a piece of trash we would tell the driver (Lea) to stop and we would all hop out, pick up the trash, and put it into the bag. Once we got most of the way around the block we decided to just drive the rest of the way home to escape the heat, as Auntie Lilly had already picked up most of the litter in that area the day before with my little brothers Bryan and Jaden. As we drove up to the dumpster we all hopped out and threw the bags into it. We thanked Lea for the ride and headed for the shower to get clean. It felt good to have done our part to help keep our neighborhood clean and looking nice. We love you all and thank you for listening to our story.
