Another Treasure: Encouragement

My friends call me an Encourager because
I am always loudly cheering for them!

Do you like to be encouraged?  

This month my parents want me to learn scriptures about encouragement. 

I do like it when people tell me that I am special. 

That's what encouragement is all about.

At our house, encouragement is important. 

We do lots of good deeds for others. 

My Mom says we need to try to be the Hands and Feet of Jesus

That means we make lots of meals for others. We have people over a lot. We send cards to people when they are sick. or sad.

I make funny photos and put them in the cards to cheer people up
I like to distort faces on my DS and make silly shots.

The Bible is full of verses to lift people up. Here is one of my favorites: 

Deuteronomy 31:6 

Be strong and courageous. 

Do not fear or be in dread of them, 
for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. 

He will not leave you or forsake you.”

We have kids over all the time and play

board games and other fun activities.

Finding Treasure in Hobbies: Playing Legos

I love to work on LEGO things.
this is an "AT-AT" from Star Wars

I work hard every day.  

I have chores, school work, and I have my own small business.

Plus, I have goals.   

But a kid needs time to relax, too.

     One of my favorite things to do to relax is to play with Legos.

 They capture my imagination.  I love to build stuff.  I love to look at  a magazine, and them build what is in there with Legos.   I get little breaks during my school day, and lots of times I do Legos then.  I hope to help other kids with my animated LEGOS videos some day.  I want other boys (& girls) to know how to build this stuff, cause it is so easy.  

I thought this was cool and I liked
it from the Star Wars book

Super Scooby and the Spider Flyer

     I say that Time for Legos is a Treasure because time is precious.  At the end of my LEGO breaks, I always say, "Aw, it can't be over."  It's like I never get enough time for fun.  And I am supposed to have fun, because I am a kid.  But I have so much work to do because of my Goals.

Some of my Goals are to make You Tube Videos that help kids who can't read.  They could watch my videos, and learn how to do stuff, like LEGOS, or building Bungie Swings, or doing Science Experiments, or Cooking.  All these things are important, and that is why time for Legos is Treasured.  Everyone has only 24 hours in a day.

The Bible talks about this topic, too.  In Matthew chapter 6,  it says, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal."  Treasures are NOT just money or diamonds!  TIME is a Treasure, too!   God cares about the way I spend my TIME.

When I spend time building these LEGOS and making Videos to help other kids, I am storing up treasures in Heaven.  I don't have tons of money.  But I do have TIME.  And I can share what  I know, and if it helps other kids, then I think God is glad!

Secret Good Deeds

It's almost time for our Fourth of July Celebration. 

I helped my Mom make this special cake.  

Before we went to the Parade, Dad and I secretly 

emptied the dryer for Mom and 

folded the clothes and towels in there.  

Then we put them away.

It was part of our "Secret Service mission" 

in our Youth Group.  

We are dressing up like Secret Servicemen 

and doing good deeds secretly. 

It's from what Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount:

 "When you do good deeds, don’t try to show off. 

If you do, you won’t get a reward 

from your Father in heaven."

********Mt. 6:1*********
