With a good pair of binoculars, you can see a great distance.  With a powerful telescope, scientists can count the stars in distant space.  

But no one, except God, can see into tomorrow.  God knows what will happen in our tomorrows.  God, who made you, knows what will happen all the days of your life.  

You don't have to be anxious about anything, because God cares for you.   It is good to trust God and let Him lead you, because He knows what tomorrow holds.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that You made me and will care for me all my life.  Amen.

RoseAnne forgot how slippery the tiles were as she ran around the swimming pool.  Her feet slid from under her.  

When she woke up, she was in hospital.  The X-ray showed a broken arm.

Did you ever go to hospital for an X-ray?  X-ray machines let the doctor look under your skin, under your flesh, right at your bones.  X-ray machines don't just show broken bones - they reveal how cleverly our loving God put your body all together.  You are wonderfully made.

Prayer: Lord, help me to praise You because I am wonderfully made.  Amen.

It was a hot, prairie day right in the middle of summer school holidays.  The two boys couldn't go to the beach - so they decided to build a tree-house.  They worked hard.  But their tree-house kept falling out of the tree.  

Then Dad came home from work.

'Here, boys.'  Drawing a sketch, Dad told them, 'You need a plan to work from.'

God, Who loves us, had a design when He made us.  God made us just like Himself.  Let's pray that we will be like God in our daily lives.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be like You in all I do, for Jesus' sake.  Amen.

Have you ever seen a soap-stone carving?  Perhaps you have one in your home.  

Inuit, who live in the cold climate of the far North, make them.  Soap-stone carvings cost lots of money to buy because it takes great skill and many hours of work to make one.  Some people who are not Inuit have learned how to make good soap-stone carvings.  

When God made people, He did something nobody else could do.  Isn't God wonderful?

Prayer: Thank You, God, for making me and for loving me.  Help me to praise You.  Amen.

The Pioneer Club kids were talking about earthquakes.  

'Wish we could help the people,' Tracy sighed.  

'You can help,' the leader replied. 'You can pray for the homeless boys and girls.  We can take an offering and send money for food and medicine.'  

The next week, Tracy prayed every day - and raised money by doing extra odd jobs at home.

At church club, the leader prayed. 'And thank You we can help others in trouble.'  All the boys and girls felt happy because they could help by praying - and giving.

Prayer: Lord, help me to think of ways I can help others who are in trouble.  Amen.
