Theme: Determination
We will now listen to a story on ‘Determination’
Lily is a little girl, who is shy and reserved. But she enjoys playing soccer. Her friends
and classmates ridicule Lily for her interest in soccer. Nonetheless, she is
determined to pursue her passion and become a successful soccer player. Every
day, after returning from school, Lily quickly finishes her homework and practices
soccer. Her mother understands the love Lily has for the sport and supports her in
every way.
When the interschool competitions are announced at the school, Lily decides to
participate. She takes part in the selection trials, and her classmates mock her once
again. But they are shocked when Lily performs well and the judges select her to
represent the school. Lily’s commitment and hard work mute every person who
mocked her.
Moral of the story:
Determination, strong will, and focus can help you achieve even the toughest of
goals, in spite of ridicule by others.
The Thought for The Day:
“Determination is only available to those who persevere and have the attitude of
never giving up just because one thing did not work.”
Kindly compose yourself for prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the true King of peace. In You alone is found freedom.
Please free our world from conflict. Bring unity to troubled nations. Let Your glorious
peace reign in every heart. O Lord, send your spirit into the hearts of all men, that
the world might know true peace through your abundant mercy. We ask you this in
Jesus’ name. Amen
Let us now say The Lord’s Prayer. Our Father, … …
