YOUTH EXPO
Today I attended the 2016 YOUTH EXPO at TE AHU in the morning.
TE AHU
“A one day event full of interactive workshops, mentoring and an expo to encourage exploration, promote self-discovery and inspire action among the Youth of Kaitaia and surrounding areas.”
I am glad to hear about all the Career options for Youth. I did not have so many options when I was young.
“$5 PREPAY CREDIT FOR FREE!”
Rewards for loyalty.
When I received an email not many days ago I looked up the word “loyalty” in my Bible and I was also reminded of my Coffee Loyalty Card.
“Hi there, just for being a loyal Vodafone customer we want to give you $5 Prepay credit for free! Simply reply YES by 9am Monday & we’ll add $5 credit to your account on Tuesday # rewardingloyalty,” said the email.
On my Coffee Loyalty Card I read at the bottom, “Every tenth cup is free. Only standard coffee will be offered.”
HEART
I find the word “loyalty” in the New International Version at least twice, in Psalm 78:8 and First Chronicles 29:18.
In Psalm 78:8 the Psalmist tells us about the stubborn and rebellious forefathers. Their hearts were not loyal to God. In First Chronicles 29:18 David prays that the hearts of the people of God may be kept loyal forever.
In Colossians 3:24 we are told about a reward for people with a loyal heart to God, namely an inheritance. First Peter 1:4 says that our inheritance is kept for us in heaven, and can never perish, spoil or fade.

“Als einst ein paar Leute jammerten im Gedanken daran, was wohl die Zukunft bringen werde, da machte einer nicht mit. Und als sie ihn fragten: ‘Was meinen Sie denn, was kommen wird?’ antwortete er: ‘Was kommt, weiss ich nicht, aber ich weiss, wer kommt!'” – Wilhelm Busch
