Theme Writing

They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the Earth, their words to the end of the world. Psalm 19:3-4

When we were at leadership camp last May we choose our theme “Shout Silently- Actions That Speak”. It means that we should speak with our actions. People should know we are christians because of our actions, not only the way we talk. As an eight grader I can use our theme “Shout Silently- Actions That Speak” at school and at home in lots of different ways.

At school I could help someone find their class room. Some of the younger kids don’t always know where to go when their are family groups because of all of the people in the hallway that is just one time I could do that. I also need to make sure I include others. I need to include someone if they are left out and not only hang out with my group of friends that I do now. Another thing I could work on is encouraging others too. I could also help someone if they are confused about homework for school that I get how to do.

This summer I went on a mission trip to Costa Rica and I think that is a good way to shout silently because we worked at a school and did service projects there so, we were using our actions. I also helped at my churches Vacation Bible School. I helped the kids with crafts and played with the kids too. At home I could help out without being asked. One example would be doing dishes. Another thing I could do at home is mow the lawn and just help out with things without being asked more.

As an eight grader I can use our theme “Shout Silently- Actions That Speak” at school and at home in lots of different ways. Anywhere I go I can serve God through my actions. We need to serve and not expect anything in return. This is something we all need to work on.
