Psalms 127:3-5 New International Version (NIV) Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.

Information for parents and carers Do you know what they’re vaping? Source : health.nsw.gov.au We are urging you to find out more and talk about the hidden impacts of vapes with your children. Alarmingly, we are seeing an increase in the number of young people trying vaping. Young people may think they are simply inhaling flavoured water, this is far from the truth. Vapes can have the same harmful chemicals found in cleaning products, nail polish remover, weed killer and bug spray. Vapes are colourful, with flavours that make them appealing. You wouldn’t put cleaning products in your food, so why would you want to put it into your lungs? What you can do as a parent or carer There are ways you can help protect your children from vaping: Whether you suspect your child is vaping or not, take the time to talk to them about it and help ...

Using change management and two $2 investments in reducing children’s screen time – By Alok Das Source : connectwithalokdas As working parents with a young family, like any other working families, the wellbeing of our children has always been a key priority for my wife and me. One key challenge for us – and I’m sure there are millions of mums and dads who feel this – is managing children’s screen time. Source: Paul Rogers, The New York Times We live in a digital world where screen time has become as normal as breathing, whether for work, or for communication, or for entertainment. Like adults, children also spend a lot of time on the screens for education and for entertainment. The challenge stems from the fact that what starts as necessity ends up in some sort of addiction. One caveat: I have written this piece as food for thought; not as ...

A Poem – unknown author. “Precious Memories” – by Des Kelly Thank you Keith Bennett for sending in this great “nostalgic” post of a poem, which I have titled especially for e’Lanka. Under normal circumstances, I try to make my titles as brief as possible, but I really should have retitled it as “Poetry personified, Author unidentified”. It is a shame, because I thought that the poem was excellent. Desmond Kelly (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka. I remember the corned beef of my Childhood, And the bread that we cut with a knife, When the Children helped with the housework, And the men went to work not the wife The cheese never needed a fridge, And the bread was so crusty and hot, The Children were seldom unhappy, And the Wife was content with her lot. I remember the milk from the bottle, With the yummy cream on the top, Our dinner came ...

SUNDAY CHOICE In memory of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth11 and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who lived a life of Togetterness, growing old Gracefully. Growing old together. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Isaiah 46:4 “There is a relational richness that comes from growing old together. It may be parents, children, siblings, friends, church acquaintances, or a work associate who contributes to a caring community. Regardless of the source of relational fulfillment, it brings to life the Lord’s creative design of intentionality in doing life together. We are not created by our heavenly Father to be isolated and insecure. His plan for us is to engage with each other in meaningful conversation, patient prayer, loving service, and relaxing recreation. Families and friends ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – “ Sin is a habit to break, not an identity to own” “How easy it is for us to find and even point out the faults of others. We can criticise what they say, what they do, the decisions that they make, and even their commitment. Often they just don’t live up to our standards and we can dwell upon their faults and apparent sins. Knowing that this would be a problem for mankind, Jesus reminded us to first examine our own lives before ever judging others. Matthew 7:3 (ESV), “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” We just ignore the log in our own eye. We don’t want to see or admit the sin in our own lives that hinders our fellowship with the Lord. David also had ...

Kaleidoscope Let’s Talk with Dr Tara De Mel on Hunger Dear Friends of Kaleidoscope Below is the link to the interview I did with Former Secretary of the Ministry of Education Dr Tara De Mel who is leading projects to ensure that children, especially the young ones, get a midday meal. There are at least one million children in Sri Lanka deprived of a midday meal due to the economic crisis. Sri Lanka currently has the second highest malnutrition rate in South Asia. I would appreciate if this email can be shared among friends and family. Any contribution we get to keep our children from going hungry is very appreciated. It’s this midday meal that encourages them to come to school and it’s this midday meal they will probably have as their only meal for the day. Please give generously. Account details below.
