Word for the day "Teaching Moments"
I Peter 5:5 (KJV) Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.Today’s Word Cup comes from a story I read in how parents must look for opportunities to teach their children:I recently heard a story about a woman who invited guests to her home for dinner. As they sat to eat, the woman turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Sweetheart, would you like to ask the blessing?" The little girl replied sheepishly, "Yes, but I don't know what to say."Mom spotted a teaching moment, and perhaps an opportunity to draw attention to her own piety. "Just say what you hear Mommy saying, dear," she said. The counsel seemed to work. The little girl clasped her hands, bowed her head, and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"Life is a school for humility. And we dare not ignore the lessons. St. Augustine once said the three essential components of the Christian life are as follows: humility, humility, and humility.Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of August 2017 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Mr. David Straker, Mrs. Annette Straker, Mrs. Marguerite Williams, Ms. Gertrude Scott and Shakeema Lowe.
