The Love of God

Today was all about 'The Love of God' in our Tender Seedlings class.
I had missed my little angels and now that the classes are back on, I am feeling so happy and joyful.

In brief, today we learned that God is One and that He sent us His Messengers (Noah, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus Christ, Mohammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah) to tell us that He created us because He loves us very much!
And because of His love for us, He made sure we have everything we need and gave us a lot of wonderful gifts, like our families, food, water, plants, all the animals and everything that is in the world.
We also learned that we need to make sure that we thank God for those wonderful gifts He gives us daily by being a good boy and girl and listening and obeying what He asks us to do, and also that we need to make sure that God knows that we love Him too, by saying our prayers every morning and evening.
We also learned a new prayer that we say everyday to let God know that we love Him very much too.
Then we made some beautiful 'Prayer Hands' in crafts time, taken from the book 'Baha'i Crafts for Children', which was so generously sent to me by my dear friend, Amelia, from Canada (Thank you again so much Amelia Joon!).


So for the 'Prayer Hands', we traced and cut out each child's hands on a folded construction paper, making sure that the hands are attached. We then wrote two prayers on the palms side of the hands, and then let the children decorate the fingers and nails and the outside of the hands.

The children loved the idea and so did we!!
Here are some pics of 'Tender Seedlings' during crafts time.

41 Baha'i Regional Conferences

Over a period of 4 months there will be 41 regional Baha'i Conferences around the world.
So far, 3 conferences have already taken place, and my parents attended the one in Johannesburg, in South Africa, last weekend.
I am so excited just by reading the reports, looking at the pictures, and watching the videos from the conferences.
I can't wait for the one in Australasia, which would be held in Sydney in January 2009.
I so want to be part of if and pray and hope i that i can save up enough money to attend the conference.

Check out Papijo's (my dad) blog for pictures, videos and reports from the conference in Johannesburg, South Africa at: http://papijo-quotidianus.blogspot.com/

Armed with the Power of Thy Name... (Music Video)

Have you seen the new music video by Baha'i Artist, Devon Gundry?
It's called 'Armed' and is a prayer from Baha'u'llah.
The music video is a brilliantly moving and profoundly touching, very powerful and very intense and I think is the first one in it's kind.
We definitely need more Baha'i Music videos like this one!

Here is the video
