LET’S ENCOURAGE OTHERS
As young children you learn new things everyday. How to play nicely with others, good manners, cleaning up your messes, eating healthy foods, helping with chores, saying your alphabet, praying, and so on. There is a lot of things to remember and sometimes we get tired and forget to do everything properly. This is when your parent’s, grand-
parent’s, brothers, sisters, and friends can ENCOURAGE you. We all make mistakes and can get discouraged… but do not forget that God is a God of all encouragement. In Acts 20:2, we read about Paul going back to the churches he had started to speak “many words of encouragement to the people.” Paul’s words,comfort, and prayers, helped the other Christians continue on with their good works and keep spreading the news about Jesus,our Saviour. Paul wanted to live for God. “ I consider my life nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me…”(Acts 20:24)

THIS WEEKS MEMORY VERSE:
“…if only I may finish the race…”
(Acts 20:24)
