Timothy certainly has a problem inviting that kid he doesn’t like to his birthday! Grandpa’s advice was to pray about it.

Isn’t it great that God the Father cares about us and all those problems we face, however big or small they may be? He wants us to talk to him about them and he promises to listen and answer. What an incredible God we have!

Today was the last Junior edge for this term. We recommence on Sunday, 19^th April.

Our Bible verses to learn and remember:
Psalm 139:1-3, 23

You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working and from heaven you discover my thoughts. You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

Have a happy and safe holiday everyone!

What a surprise! Grandpa didn’t punish Timothy after all! That is just like God, the Father – because Jesus has taken the punishment for us, God forgives us when we come to him and tell him we are sorry for disobeying him.

The story that Jesus told also tells of a father who didn’t punish his son, but welcomed him back with loving arms. He even gave a party to celebrate his return. Did you know that God has a party when we choose to become his forever friend? He loves us sooo much and really, really wants to be our friend. He is waiting for you to make that choice, just as the father in the Bible story was waiting for his son to come back home.

Next week Timothy has a problem that he brings to his grandfather. I wonder what that problem is? Make sure you come next week to find out.

Psalm 139:1-3

You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working and from heaven you discover my thoughts. You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

Today we heard a story Jesus told about the owner of a vineyard. Even though the people that were looking after the vineyard would not listen to the owner (and even killed his son), the owner still had control – he sacked those people and got a new lot of people in to take care of the vineyard.

How good it is to know God the Father is in charge - especially when things in our lives don’t go the way we want! We know we can trust God and rely on him.

*What will happen to Timothy? Will Grandpa punish him? Come next week to find out and learn more about our amazing Father, God.

The question for this week: Why was Timothy feeling so bad?

Our Bible verses to learn and remember:
Psalm 139:1-2

You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working and from heaven you discover my thoughts.
