Hi All!
I would just like to share some things on the bible-sharing that we had today, 13th July.

'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ' 1 Corinthians 13
(This was one part of the passage we took)

Today's Bible Sharing was good! It's very interesting to hear everyone's point of view- from a young girl's, to a fellow teenager, and then yours! And I'm really glad that everyone managed to share and to open up. Wasn't expecting all of you to open so much, but I'm glad with the turn out! Thank you once again girls, for sharing so much! Its really wonderful. And remember all, everything that is shared( personal) is meant to be kept a secret!

For those who didn't turn up, I'm so sorry you missed it! It was an awesome experience!

Just a few points that were discussed, that striked me :

When asked :' What does love mean to you?

'Some very honest answers:
' When my mummy buys me ice-cream and hugs me (:'
'Being able to forgive someone even though they've hurt you'
'Putting a smile on someone's face (:'

When asked:' How do you show someone you love them/someone shows you they love you?'

'When my friend goes and buys food for me'
'Hug! Kiss!'
'When your friend goes to the locker for you'

When asked :' Do you think Jesus loves you? How do you know?'

'D-UH!'
'When he answers my prayers'
'For giving me great parents'
'Because he died on the cross for me'

How such innocent great answers can warm your heart. And I think all parents would be so glad to hear all these. Especially about the part about 'giving me great parents'! The innocent hearts of children :)

So I would honestly say this Bible-sharing session was a success! And I think everyone was touched to hear the Father's Love Letter. When I first heard it, I cried! And now it still has an effect on me! Afterall, humans are humans. We all need our reassurances, and we always want to know that at least- there's someone who will always be there for us. For anyone of you who wants to have the slides prepared or to hear the Father's Love Letter, you may go to thier website www.fathersloveletter.com if i'm not wrong. For parents, if you have not heard it, do take some time to. I'm sure even as adults, you're still children in heart! And this sweet letter would definitely warm your heart. (:

When you are brokenhearted, its when I'm closest to you.

I'm looking forward to the next Bible Sharing session! I hope all your girls enjoyed it! Thank you again Elysha's mum for the sandwiches you made for us! It was very delicious!

Take Care and God Bless.

Love,
Victoria
