Good afternoon school. Today’s assembly is conducted by the students of Grade 8.
Kindly join in singing the hymn God will make a way.
(Hymn)
The scripture will be read by Siya Kesarkar, the story will be read-out by Hanishee Sancheti, Soham Maity will lead us in prayer and Abdur Rehman Ahmed will read the Preamble to Constitution of India.
Today’s scripture is taken from the second book of Chronicles chapter 15 verse 7
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.
(PAUSE) This is the Word of the Lord.
Kindly be seated and listen to today’s short story:
Some frogs were traveling through woods and two of them accidentally fell into a pit. The other frogs which were safe upside understood how deep the pit was and saw no hope for the frogs to escape out of it.
Both of these frogs started trying to get out of the pit but failed many times. The frogs on the safe side shouted at them to give up the pain of trying as it was not possible.
Eventually, one frog heard the other frogs and decided to stop trying and fell down to death. However, the other frog went on trying and at last managed to reach the top. The other frogs asked him, “Did you not hear us?” He explained that he was deaf and thought other frogs were encouraging him to get out.
Moral: Some people around you may ask you to be on a safer side always and stop trying and taking risks. However, there is no gain without pain. So try hard to achieve success in life despite what life offers you
Thought for Today: The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
Kindly compose yourself for the prayer
Dear Lord, it is in You that we find the support we need to prevail in life. We gather the strength to carry on in life’s adversities from You. Sometimes we fail, but You come to our rescue every time. Please take any doubt from my heart and clear my mind of troubling thoughts. Amen.
Let us all say the Lord’s Prayer.
Kindly stand at attention as the Preamble to the Constitution of India is read out.
