A challenge and an encouragement
Challenge - here is a question to contemplate and then chat with our children about over the weekend…
How have I taken steps this week to show that I care more about others, than I care about winning the argument?
Encouragement – these are the words of the psalmist ( 29 v 11):
The Lord gives strength to his people, the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Enjoy the weekend,
Larne Edmeades
