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.

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*********
