Contentment is not the Fulfillment of what want,but the Realization of how much you already have
By: Alyson Vikstrom

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have. People with material possessions in abundance can lack contentment. People should be happy with what they have. We should not be worried about what we have or look like.

People with material possessions in abundance can lack contentment. One day my neighbor (Abby) wanted an owl hand sanitiser holder. She wanted mine. But it was too precious so I didn’t give her it. But she kept on bothering me. So my mother bought two owl hand sanitizer. One for Abby and one for my cousin Febe.

People should be happy with what they have.
For an example Zeke said “I am glad that I have friends and I am happy that I go to Zeeland Christian School.”
Claire said “I am happy that God gave his son.”
Evan said “ I am happy because God gave me gifts.”

We should not be worried about what we have or look like,
because it does not matter in life of what you have or look like. But what does matter is to be content (being happy with what we have or look like)

This is why contentment is good. So People with material possessions can learn how to be content ,also people will be happy with what they have, and people would not be worried about what we have or look like.

My faith story

By: Alyson Viktrom

1. What do I believe?

I believe that God is my savior. It is hard for me to be kind always to others or to respect them. I’m not perfect but Christ died for me well I was still a sinner. I needed God to come and rescue me from my sins and evil deeds. God listened and he sent his son. Jesus died for me and you.

2.     How does this affect what I do everyday?

It affects how I learn and hear about God. God is my redeemer and the light of the world. God knows me from heart and no one else does.

3. What would I want people to know about my faith?

I want other people to know what some of my thoughts about God and how they forgive others when they sin. Jesus is the true light but some people like the darkness of sin.

4. What are some of my goals as a Christian?

– To share God’s word

-Show kindness(God’s love by actions or words)

-Never to forget God in any circumstances

Every kid should have a preschool buddies

By:Alyson Vikstrom

Do you have a preschool buddie? If you do not have a preschool buddie you should have one preschooler to be your buddie. Cause they can give you comfort another reason you can make relationships with preschool buddies. In addition we (older kids) can learn responsibility. Also the younger kid gets influence on how to act in school. Another reason is that the little kids are no longer afraid of adults or older kids. Or it brings good memories. Many people that don’t spend time with preschoolers think that preschoolers are just a waste of time but I think that preschoolers are fun and not a waste of time.

Every kid or adult should have a preschool buddie because preschoolers give you joy or comfort. I used to think that preschool buddies were not a joy or that they  didn’t comfort but now I realized that I was wrong. For example once I get to the preschoolers room and get with my preschool buddie I feel comfortable with my preschool buddie. She gives my joy I also feel comfortable with her. This is important because it’s good  to be with different people that is not your age so you can learn how to get along with little children or older children.

Another reason is that you can make relationships with each other (your buddie)

For an example I feel an relationship with my preschool buddie because we get to visit them and we get to play with each other. Another example is that I have fun with them and when I feel a little sad or my day was bad my buddy cheers me up and I don’t have a bad day any more. I feel that God’s grace is in my preschool buddy.

Every kid should have a preschool buddy because the older student learns responsibility. For an example once we go sledding with our buddy we make sure that our buddy is safe and that they don’t get hit with a sled or  don’t get hurt. What think this says about me is that I am responsible for younger kids.

On the other hand younger kids get influence on how to act in school. One time last year my preschool buddy did not listen  to one of the rules. He kept on working on it and he finally obeyed the rule and now he knows he knows how to act or obey the rules in school. The reason for this is that everyone should obey the rules in school so you will be safe or others will be safe.

This is giving me the idea that it is also good because your buddy might not be scared of you any more after a long time together. Once I was in preschool and I had two boys as my buddy I felt scared at first then I got use to them. This is similar to when I go to my preschool buddy my preschool buddy is a little shy and she does not say much at all.

This makes me realize that there is one more thing about having preschool buddies. I have good memories of what a fun time we had.I can not stop thinking about all the fun. This connects with when my cousin (Febe) and I have so much fun and I always have good memories about Febe and I.

This is why having a preschool buddy is good. I hope you know how important it is to have a preschool buddie because you can make relationships with others and they can give you comfort, also the older kid has responsibility, younger kid gets influence on how to act in school, and the little kids are not scared of big kids or adults, and last but not least is that you may have good memories. So what are you wanting for go ask an adult if you can have a preschool buddy.
