Hi Andrew;

A new day ahead.  And did you see the bright ball in the sky poking it's head out?  It was nice spending some 1-1 time with you yesterday.  I appreciate that you are in a difficult place right now and don't always want to talk about it but please know that I am always around for you to chat, as is your dad and your entire family.  We love you so much buddy.

Love,
Mum

Happy New Year

Dear Andrew;

Welcome to the NEW YEAR!!!  Happy 2014.

BIBLE
New Study: Fruit of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22-25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.




Begin with Fruit of the Spirit devotional (see mum)


Walking in the Spirit means living every day
Looking up to Jesus and following His way.
And when I give Him all of me
Just like a mighty tree–
My actions will become sweet fruit
For all the world to see.


Watch this video

Project: We will go to the river and collect 9 rocks that you will paint and then write down the fruit of a spirit.
