SCRIPTURE READING The scripture reading has been taken from Proverbs: Chapter 3 verse 5 and 6. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. The word of the Lord.Thanks be to God. Kindly be seated for the STORY One teacher had two disciples. One of them had a positive vision and he always sought out good points from anything he observed while the other always found some negativefaults from his observations. One day, the teacher went out to a park with both the disciples and while wandering in the garden, they came across a mango tree from which some ripe and juicy mangoes were hanging. On seeing this, the teacher thought to test both of his students. Therefore, he called them beside him and asked them to observe the tree full of mangoes very carefully. Then, he asked the first one, “My dear child, what do you think of this mango tree?” The disciple answered instantly, “Teacher, in spite of people hitting this tree with stones, it gives us sweet and juicy mangoes. It does hurt but still it gives us fruits. I wish all human beings learn this important message from the mango tree – to share their belongings even if they have to suffer for this.” After that, the teacher asked the same question to the other disciple, “My dear child, what do you think of this mango tree?” The student aggressively answered, “Teacher, this mango tree is no good and will not give mangoes by itself but only when we hit it with stones and sticks. Therefore, we should hit it hard to get sweet mangoes from it. That is the only way to get these mangoes. The teacher was delighted with the answer given by the first student because he had an admirable vision and appreciated the tree with a positive vision while on the other hand the second student’s answer dissatisfied him because he saw the tree with a negative vision and insisted on learning the wrong way of getting fruits in life. So friends, develop a positive vision and always find something good from everything and everyone. The Moral of the Story is: Positivity is the biggest strength in life. Success follows those who are positive in all situations. Everybody has definitely something that can be appreciated, we only need to apply positive vision and appreciate others. Kindly stand for the PRAYER Let us join our hands and bow our heads in prayer. “When evil darkens our world, give us light. When despair numbs our souls, give us hope. When we stumble and fall, lift us up. When doubts assail us, give us faith. When nothing seems sure, give us trust. When ideals fade, give us vision. When we lose our way, be our guide! That we may find serenity in your presence and purpose in doing your will.” This prayer we make in Jesus’ name. Amen. Let us continue by saying, The Lord’s Prayer together.Kindly stand at attention for the Preamble and the School Song.PREAMBLESCHOOL SONGTHOUGHT FOR THE DAY “If you are positive, you’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles.” Thank you and have a wonderful day.
