Shelve Them and Move On
Bible in a Year: Leviticus 25; Mark 1:23–45
Today's Scripture: Proverbs 15:30–33 (NIV)
In Proverbs, the righteous are the wise, and the foolish are the wicked (for example, see 10:1–3). A wise person is one who obeys God and His Word, thus avoiding moral pitfalls and failures. In contrast, a fool is one who says, “There is no God” (Psalm 14:1). Solomon contrasts the wise and the foolish (Proverbs 10–15), comparing their attitudes, actions, and speech. Proverbs 15 describes the wise person as one who is discerning (v. 21), seeks godly counsel (v. 22), speaks graciously (v. 23), lives cautiously (v. 24), is humble (v. 25), pure (v. 26), honest (v. 27), self-controlled (v. 28), prayerful (v. 29), teachable (vv. 31–32), and fears God (v. 33). The founda-tion for such a godly life is stated at the beginning of Proverbs in 1:7, repeated in 9:10, and reiterated again in 15:33: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. By: K. T. Sim
I’m reminded of some wise advice a radio broadcaster friend once gave me. Early on in his career, as my friend struggled to know how to deal with both criticism and praise, he felt that
God was encouraging him to shelve both. What’s the essence of what he took to heart? Learn
what you can from criticism and accept praise. Then shelve both and humbly move on in God’s grace and power.
Criticism and praise stir in us powerful emotions that, if left unchecked, can lead to either self-loathing or an overinflated ego. In Proverbs we read of the benefits of encouragement and wise counsel: “Good news gives health to the bones. . . .Those who disregard discipline des-pise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding” (15:30, 32).
If we’re on the receiving end of a rebuke, may we choose to be sharpened by it. Proverbs states, “Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise” (v. 31). And if we’re blessed with words of praise, may we be refreshed and filled with gratitude. As we walk humbly with God, He can help us learn from both criticism and praise, shelve them, and then
move on in Him (v. 33). By Ruth O'Reilly-Smith
Today's Reflection Father God, thank You for the gift of praise and criticism. As I humbly surrender to You, may I grow and be sharpened by both.
Newsletter 2 Term 1 - Thursday 21st February, 2019
Welcome From Miss Binks and her Year 4 class:
Year 4 students have shiny new iPads and are very much enjoy-
ing using them for their class work.
In Health this Term, we are deepening our understanding of
what a Growth Mindset is and how we can develop it. We are
using Class Dojo's Growth Mindset Series and TedEd talks to
gather information and we will be creating a presentation
explaining how to develop a Growth Mindset. I'm sure the
Year 4’s are going to be creating some interesting and
informative presentations!
KINDY with Mrs Roche
We have welcomed a beautiful new cohort of Kindergarten students into our school over the past
three weeks. The Kindergarten class has been enjoying getting to know one another, building with the
blocks, painting, and getting messy with the sand, water and playdough. We have read some of our
favourite stories together and done lots of exciting craft. This term our class theme will be “All About
Me” and “My Community”. We will be learning about ourselves and what makes us special and
unique. We will learn about friendships, emotions and keeping clean. We will take a look at our local
community and all the different jobs in it and the roles they play. We look forward to an exciting term
in Kindy!

Limitless
Thursday, 21 February 2019 | 02:00 PM
At first glance, a common theme through all Maila Fanning's abstract paintings appears to be an array of palette colours flowing into rivulets and cells. What draws the viewer, almost hypnotically, is the power these creations have to propel one's imagination towards greater depths, challenging new meaning from the illusion of the surreal scapes presented.
Limitless will be on show at Carnarvon Library and Art Gallery from Thursday 14 February 2019 to 16 March 2019.
