We recognise that Lillie has been entrusted to us while she grows and develops, and want to teach her that God is her heavenly father and that he loves her very much. This, of course, is true for each of us and God regularly gives us gifts, because he wants to remind us of this love, a love that we saw ultimately in the Easter story.
This week, while at our review, we were reminded that each new day is a gift, and we were challenged to have the attitude that every morning provides us with a fresh start. This means learning from past mistakes but not holding them against those around us – forgiveness is so important. I wonder how good we all are at choosing to forgive others quickly, so we can give them a fresh st
art each day too. After all, if we want to be forgiven we must forgive. Part of this attitude is not only forgiving others, but also asking God for our own forgiveness and believing that we are free from these past situations
