Dear Children of God! How are you? How is the second semester test? We hope you have learned and studied well more than before and score good grades!
Little ones! We have begun summer. We believe you use this season properly in helping your parents in choirs, read Holy Scriptures (holy books) and prepare for the next year school lessons. You shall also not forget to attend Holy Church and learn spiritual teachings. Good! Children, now we will learn about obedience.
Humans worry for attaining both virtuous and evil thoughts. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ told us “do not worry” for the vanity world that is unjust. (Matthew 6:34) He knows what we seek and desire in the earthly life. The discerning mind we are endowed by Him is for the wisdom of us. Yet, it is improper to worry about any of it. Patristic Fathers teaching the children of God to “think but not worry” is for this reason. On the temporary earthly life, we shall be thoughtful, careful, “wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16) We are warranted not to fear and worry in Christianity. Whilst the apostles were saddened about the Lord’s suffering and death, He sympathized them saying, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)
Absolute in His attribute, Holy and pure as He is, and for no uncleans is in Him, our Lord, God is a Good Father. The existence of Him before the creation of the world, for He does so now and forever, He lives in holiness in eternity. Before He created all the creatures by His mercy, He existed by sacred and triune; now also abodes glorified, sanctified and praised; as well will be praised in the future in His kingdom even for the inheritance of His honor and holiness to the Archangels and mankind. He did all this for His mercy, goodness, kindness and holy will.
On Hamele 7, as God entered Abraham’s house and blessed him, so will He enter the houses of those who donates, present alms, welcome guests daily and as such. We have also seen His endowment of children to barren and blessing of houses. Today, we shall also feed the hungry, water the thirst, cloth the deprived, present alms, handouts and alike in the living of good thinking like Holy Scriptures teaches us.
The eleventh month is known as “Hamele” which is derived from the word “Hamel” meaning “Leaf, foliage, grass, bushfire, sprout, plant,” and “Hamele” means “greenish.” (Aleka Kidane Wolde, page 449)
The naming of this month is derived from the earth which got dew of heaven and the clear natural change. The land which dried and degraded in the winter season will be wet and greenery at the beginning of summer by the rain.

Labeling is categorizing a body or people by one character, and in terms of that, naming them. Professional experts states it has having numerous attitude. Amongst are its individualistic and socialistically naming people, stereotyping, and the fact about the labelers who present narratives but not the truth about punishing the wrongs. Labeling can be used as a measurement for stigmatization. It is not also a process which can be easily eradicated. It also makes the labelers and the labeled making their own judgment and even commit from hitting to murder.
We might have heard teachers referring to our present situation in lessons or sermons, saying “your body is present but mind is absent.” This is their way of telling us we are neither listening to them nor following their teaching.
There can never be a gift or present we could bestow to God Who is opulent, for all the marvelous work He endowed to the world. The Almighty Lord has created the heavens, the earth and all the gracious creatures in it. The entire universe is under His governance and thus seek no reward from any of His creatures. Yet in expressing gratitude, praise, prayer and love to Him, He wills to accept present from us.
