Love in Action Last Monday at devotion, the Year 2 students received God’s
special book – the Bible - that was generously donated by the St
John’s Lutheran congregation. The Bible is God’s written record of
his work through the ages. We know how to live, make decisions
and worship thanks to the wisdom contained in God’s special
book. As we meditate and consider its truth, our spirits and souls
find nourishment. We become established and enriched in every
experience of life by living according to God’s perspective. The
Bible is a book for everyone. Thank you to the congregation
members who came along to spend some time sharing with the
Year 2 students.
Weekly Well-being Gratitude!
The simple power of gratitude can change your day. One thing I
always talk to our students about is that even on our darkest days,
we can always find something to be grateful for and something
positive. Gratitude can help us see the blessings that we have
around us. Even through hardships and tragedies, there are
always miracles and blessings to be recognised. Next time you find
yourself in a situation that has you lost, upset or even fearful…
take a moment to think about what it is you are thankful for. You
may be surprised at the impact it can have. Doing this daily
strengthens our minds to find those positives more naturally and
easily, and the flow-on effect is inspiring. I challenge you to think
about 3 things you are grateful for this week and share your ideas
with your family. Bethany Kotzur
