Destinatus 2017 Term 1 News 1

Bargain books approached the school to have a book sale at Campus 1. They will be selling books between 12:00 and 15:00 on Tuesday 31 January. We invite you to come and browse through everything and spoil your child with a book or two. You can even sponsor a book to our “100” book project.  This is a project were we aim to get at least a 100 books for each classroom to enable the kids to read as much as they can.

ATHLETIC MEETINGS – FRIDAY, 10 FEBRUARY:

The long distance races will be held at Destinatus on Campus 2. The first event will start at 8:00 on Tuesday, 7 February.  This event was split from the other athletics to shorten the program and enable them to run in the morning when it is cooler.

The Colour Athletic Meeting will be held on Friday, 10 February at Brackenfell High School.  The learners must be there at 15:00 for the opening and the teams to enter on to the field. The first event will start at 15:30. At this meeting we will only have short distance running and relay.  We will send more information next week.

THOUGHT FOR THIS WEEK:

Sometimes we forget to celebrate life. We forget to give thanks to the Lord for every blessing that we received for all the help that He gave us to achieve what we could to date. The Lord commanded the Israelites to celebrate in Deuteronomy 16:15.  What a great idea! Do we think of the Lord as the creator of pleasure? Maybe we should. Our days are always busy and are over before we realise it. We live at an incredible pace – always busy, busy, busy.  Let us listen this week if God is not asking or rather begging us to take a moment to be joyful and take pleasure in all the good that surrounds us.

Lord, please help me remember that you created us to have a good life and live with joy and not as rushed as we are. Help me to listen for the right moments to express this joy and be thankful for everything You helped me achieve in my life. Amen

GEDAGTE VIR DIE WEEK:

Soms vergeet ons om fees te vier.  Ons vergeet om dankie te sê vir wat ons met God se hulp bereik het en dit net te vier. God het in Deuternomium 16:15 opdrag gegee dat die Israeliete moet feesvier. Wat ‘n goeie idée! Dink ons ooit aan God as die skepper van prêt? Dalk moet ons. Ons dae is so vol, so vinnig om. Ons leef teen ‘n verskriklike pas – altyd besig, besig, besig. Luister die week of God jou nie vra, by jou pleit, om ‘n rukkie stil te staan en vreugde te put uit alles wat mooi is om ons.

Here, help my onthou dat U bedoel het ons moet in vreugde lewe, nie in ‘n dolle gejaag met geen einde in sig nie. Help my om te luister vir die regte oomblikke om vreugdevol te lewe uit blydskap vir alles wat U vir my gedoen het. Amen
