Stay On The Course

 The Summer Break is now behind us, and our children are about to chart a new course in their lives. They may be attending a new school, or they may be entering a new grade, or they may still have a few more years of studies in subjects that they had chosen a few years ago.

Whatever it may be, some exciting times are ahead of them. Of course, this is not to say that sadness, tears, disappointment, and fear are not a block ahead of them.

Therefore, whatever is ahead for our children, we should not allow them to move away from the "good" track that they are running on. If Christians and their school peers are intentionally or unintentionally trying to "out" their light, we need to encourage them to stay on the Christian course.

If they were planning to be more involved in sporting activities, but their best friends do not want to be involved in these activities, they may become a little discouraged and decide to "drop" this plan. If this is the case, we should encourage them to stay on their planned course.

Whatever it may be, whatever they are faced with, we need to be there to encourage them to stay on the course.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

Andorra – A Shared Country

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain.  Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here.  In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain.  Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red.
