One of the greatest joys in life that God has blessed us with is the ability to learn new things.  Whether it is learning a new recipe, a new instrument, or a new language, it is always exciting to learn something new, and then to share it with someone else. 

I remember learning how to make pizzas in Home Economics when I was in Year 6.  I couldn’t wait to share it with my family, and I ended up cooking pizzas for dinner, two to three times a week for a few months.    

When Jesus was twelve years old, we read in Luke chapter 2:46-47, that he was so excited to learn more about God that he stayed behind in the temple without his parents for three days, listening to the teachers and asking them questions.         

During this year, our children will learn a lot of new and amazing things that they will want to share with us.  They will learn about the beauty of art, and the importance of Maths and English.  But above all, they will learn about the great God who loves them, and gave himself for them.

If you are going through a tough time right now, know that God loves you, and that He is with you.

God bless,
