WHAT DAY IS IT?
I don’t know, but for you it may be just another day.
But one magazine tells me that it’s Global World Day of Parents on 1 June and that it’s the United Nations World Environment Day on June 5.
In the newspaper I read:
Give quitting smoking a go
WORLD SMOKE FREE DAY
31 MAY 2016
What day it is?
For me it’s a Day the Lord has made for me to be glad and rejoice.
Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

“Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.” – Job 5:7
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.
