Zewde

Our niece

We are the children of those who chose to survive. - Nana Poussaint

If you ever doubted your ability to survive, look at who you came from. Don't limit yourself to parents and grandpar­ents. Go all the way back to the root. In your family line is the genius of those who were born into a barren land and built the pyramids. In the oasis of your mind is the con­sciousness of those who charted the stars, kept time by the sun and planted by the moon. In the center of our being is the strength of those who planted the crops, toiled in the fields and banqueted on what others discarded. In the light of your heart is the love of those who bore the children who were sold away only to one day hang from a tree. In the cell of your bloodstream is the memory of those who weathered the voyage, stood on the blocks, found their way through the for­est and took their case to the supreme court. With all that go­ing for you, what are you worrying about? God bless you.

Uncle Yohannes, Aunt Yaynalem, Aunt Yimegn Uncle Afraim

JANELLE JOHNSON

• lncru~ l~ TIIU, Suio"r PIStOl

As you make your debut into the world of opportunities, make the Church a part of your life. The Church may be likened to the dressing room of a great theater. Here is where you put on the garments of praise and fmd the props that are needed out on the stage of life. The Church is where you are equipped, prepared, and cued for the next act along life's way.

William Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage and all the people in it are players." The world is a stage, but don't walk out on the play. The world needs those who play the sm411 parts, for usually it is to those who play them well that the larger more important parts are given.

Along the road of life, stop at frequent intervals to enter the Church to worship God and depart with a determination to serve the people whom God loves. Above all, "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth." Reflect on the blessings that are yours, blessings you didn't earn but received because of God's love for you. The greatest blessing of all is the Gift of Eternal Life. May you ever be reminded that God's Holy Spirit indwells you to empower, energize, and enable you to accomplish your goals as you obediently follow His directions.

Canaan Baptist Church Rev. B. J. Tatum, Senior Pastor
