Top 5
Recently, we've rediscovered how important it is to look for the blessings that God has put into our lives each day. And how important it is to be thankful to God in both the good times and the bad. Each Tuesday, we are going to put up our 'Top 5' blessings that we have seen in our lives over that past week. It would be great if in the comments anyone reading could share any of the blessings that you have seen in your lives.
1. Seeing how some of my students have grown over the past two years; spiritually and/or in their character.
2. Catching up with old friends and meeting new ones at Seddon SDA church.
3. Blue sky and feeling the sun on our faces after a long and lingering winter.
4. Getting music equipment to help our music ministry.
5. Fun times with friends.
Our Week According to Instagram...
December
I can't believe it's already December! This year has gone crazy fast. Around this time of the year is crazy for a teacher, but this time around I haven't felt nearly as stressed as the last few years. To be honest it's a great feeling. Yes, I do still have a lot of work to mark, a lot of reports to write, classes to still teach, picnic days to organise, units to write, and the music ministry we do on the weekends. But somehow I'm not stressed. Earlier this term I remember stopping and praying. Deciding that I was going to put this stress in the arms of God and to just leave it there. At least as much as I possibly could... because I tend to like to take stress back from God. With only two weeks left of this working year before summer holidays I can honestly say that I'm glad that we have a God to takes care of our stresses. A God who not only takes care of us, but gives us a day in which we can rest in Him. I hope that everyone has a fantastic Sabbath full of rest. We're off to Seddon SDA church this morning to share the gospel through word and song.
