Handle with care

Here's another reading to learn from it. Let me translate it for you. Hope it's clear.

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it". This was written by the wise king Salomon. What a big resposability it gives to all parents in general!.

God had given the parents the great privilege to build or guide our children's life. An illustration of this is that when we send something by mail which is very valuable and delicate. we wrapped it very carefully and we write on it "fragile, handle with care" A note or sign like that we must put it on our children. They are fragile material that should be handled with care. As parents we have the privilege to instruct them everyday in the correct way. The Bible promise is that they will never forget it. Do you take care of your children as a precious material? Do you instruct them in the correct way? Do you treat them as a package of a fragile content?

God will give us the wisdom we need to handle with care the fragile material he had put in our hands. The reward will be, sons and daughters who follow the path of good and truth.

There's enough time

Hi, everybody! It's nice to write you again. Vacations are almost over, and we're gonna see each other again. I'm not sure if we are going to return on Monday or on Tuesday as some other schools will, but I'll investigate. Ok, here I'm writing a reflection note I was reading, but I'll try to translate it for you.

One night, a friend was dreaming about hell. She saw satan sitting on his throne, looking for someone to send to earth. He called a demon and ask him:"Would you like to go to earth to confuse the souls?" "Yes I will go" he answered. "And what would you tell the people?" "Sir, I will tell them that there's no God, and that everything about religion is false". "No forget it you will not success". Satan asked another who says: "I will go, I will tell them that there's a good and mercy God, but it's not important to serve him". "No, you're not going to be successful with that either". A third demon wanted to go and satan asked him what was he going to say, and he answered:" I will tell them that Jesus gospel and his death on the cross it's true. I will tell them to convert themselves and to believe the gospel, but I will tell them that THERE'S ENOUGH TIME. "Go!" said satan "you will succeed".

Satan came to earth and he had been successful. He had whispered to our ears: "There's enough time". He tells us there's time to serve God, there's time to have communion with God".

There's time..... NO! the Bible says that today is the acceptable time, the salvation day. Don't be fooling around thinking that there's still time. Serve God today with all your heart!.

Cleanliness

Hello, I'm writing you from Monterrey. This is another story for children, but as I told you before, it's a message for us too. I hope you'll k¡like it and understand the translation form.

"But mommy", started to say Sean. "Sean, you're the older one. I don't want to hear anything about it" said Sean's mother. And she got a mop and gave it to Sean. "I want everything clean" she said. Sean was very upset while he was going down to the basement. He was looking at the paint on the floor. "It wasn't all my fault, I should'nt clean this just by myself. If Bobby wouldn't do all this mess. He must be helping me.
After a while, Sean heard his mother coming down and asked him "how's everything?" "It's ok" he answered. "Maybe you're right, it was not only your fault, but you're not the only first person who has to clean anothers mess . I have done that most of the time when all of you leave everything dirty and I used to feel very angry about that matter, but then, I understood that when I do a mess in my life, I'm not able to clean myself, but Jesus is always able to help me." Sean stoped cleaning to pay attention. "Think about this" his mother said. "He takes all our sins and cleans us. When we come to Him for help, He takes all our mistakes and fixed them, and most of the time we never stop to thank Him for this" Sean continued cleaning, but he wasn't angry anymore.
What about you? Have you ever think how Jesus is not only able, but also capable to fix our life and clean us? When we sin, we may decide not to do it again and we can ask God to forgive us. Whenever we have a problem, we can give it to Him and He will help us. He makes all things in a perfect way. Give God thanks for that. (Jesus makes us clean).

Robert's Robot

Hi everyone: At last I can sit and write once again. Before I arrive home I'm planning to write my blog, but at the moment I'm at home, I start doing this and that and when I see the clock, I say: One more day without writing. But today I didn't look at anything and run to sit here and write. This is little messages for children, but can be also for adults. It says that: Robert was excited looking at his robot walking around his room. It was made of transparent plastic so he could see all the interior lights how they went on and off. Her sister told him:" My robot is bigger than yours, it's beautiful, it shines like gold." "Well, Robert said: The robots shouldn't be all beautiful" I bet my robot is faster than yours" The children started playing when the lights went off. "What happed the little girl asked" trying not be worried. " It's probably because of the rain" said Robert. "I wish mom and dad could be at home, let's go downstairs" They walked to the door, but the hall was in darkness so they could'nt see. "Wait a minute"said Roberto. He returned to found his robot. He lighted on and it's lights started to shine, so they could go downstairs guided by the robot's lights.

Later on, they saw their parent coming. "Oh! we're so happy to see you" said the little Tania. "I was very afraid" "But my robot helped" said Roberto very proud of his robot. "Tania said my robot was very ugly, but he gave us light"Roberto said.

Their mother started laughing and then she said very seriouly: "Your robots remind me that there's people who looked very importart and attractive but, they don't permit that the love of God shines through them. It looks like if they haven't any strength. So when the circumstances are difficult, they're not of much help. Other people seemed to be not so good, but they are strong and you can count always with them. You can see very clearly the light of Jesus shinning on their lives" "That's true" said the father. "That's the way people should be. Full of God's love and they have to show it.

What about you? Are you the kind of person described on this story? The way you look from outside it's not very important as the inside. This is the one God's care. When you live the way God wants you to live, then His light will shine on you life. The end

I hope you can udenstand it because of my traduction. See you later. Are you attending to the workshops? they look interesting. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Which is your attitude?

Hi, How are you doing? enjoying this long weekend? How about Matty's team event wasn't it very interesting and exciting? It was a nice experience for all of us don't you think so? Excellent job Matty. Well, I want to write a little part of a book I'm reading. It's tittle is "How to win people" by John C. Maxwell. I hope you get the idea 'cause I have to translate it. And it says:
It is well known that all of us need to learn valuable lessons. Everybody have something to share or something to teach us, but this can only happen if we have the correct attitude.
What kind of attitude do you have when you need to learn from others? Most people are in one of the following categories:
No one can teach me anything: Arrogant attitude.
Ignorance is the biggest enemy of the real education. Have you ever known some successful persons with much education that they don't want to listen any suggestion or opinion from others? They think they know everything. A person who receives a master's degree may not be able to accept any instruction, because now he or she is an expert.
Such persons can't noticed the damage they are getting. The truth, is that no one is enough old, enough intelligent or enough successful to learn something new. The only obstacle that interferes to learn it's a bad attitude.
Someone can teach me everything: Innocent attitude.
This is a good decision, nevertheless, it's innocent (ingenuo) to think they can learn everything from just one person. I've learned from many people.
Everybody can teach me something: Educated attitude.
The people who learn more is not the one who spend long time with intelligent people, but the ones who have an educated attitude. Each person has something to share, a lesson, an observation or an experience of life. We just need to be able to listen. Actually people teach us things even if they don't notice it. Ask any parent and you'll find that they learned valuable lessons from their children, even if they were babies. The only moment people can't teach us something is when we are not able to learn.
Ok, guys, this was just three paragraphs of this topic just to practice the traduction too. I'ts not very easy. But I noticed it's another way to practice English and traduction. See you tomorrow Sunday. Don't forge to watch the movie The last of the Mohicans. We'll comment it tomorrow.
Try to rest and take care. God bless you all. Bye.
