Reflection 2 Date: 12 May 2025
Theme: Small Things Matter
Story B:
– read the story 2 times (3 min)
I learned that the helpers in the temple were not getting the food they needed. So they left their work and went back to their farms.
I asked the leaders, “Why is the temple being forgotten?” Then I brought the helpers back to work.
I chose good and honest men to be in charge of the food and gifts. They could be trusted to give out supplies fairly.
I prayed, “Remember me for this, because I tried to do good for your house and people.”
