Dear Friends January, 2013

It’s been a fulfilling year for us to see the progress our children has made in 2012. The improvement of our

learning centre, makes it more pleasant for the children to study. And of course your partnership with us

that encourages us to continue with our volunteer effort. We are really looking forward to have more of

your participation and support in 2013. Thank you once again for your regular kind help.

“A hundred years from now, it won’t matter what your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or

the kind of car you drove, but the world may be different because you were important in the life of a

child.”—Author unknown

Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three

general enjoyment.—Sydney Smith.

Good thots:

Issumagijoujunnainermik!

From the book of Mark 11:26

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Today’s word is not Hebrew or Greek, it’s Eskimo! The word is issumagijoujunnainermik. When missionaries first shared the gospel with the Eskimos, they couldn’t find any word in the Eskimo language for forgiveness. So, they took a number of Eskimo words and joined them to form a new word — Issu-magi-jou-jun-nai-ner-mik — and it became the Eskimo word for forgiveness. The individual words are “Not-being-able-to-think-about-it-anymore.”

Too often we remember the hurt, replaying it over and over again in our minds. Forgiveness is not something we do just once. It is something we must reaffirm every day. Whenever a hurtful memory comes up, remember the word Issu-magi-jou-jun-nai-ner-mik, and say, “I can’t think about it anymore, it’s in God’s hands.”

Rather than replay the hurt you may have acquired, replay God’s mercy, His

grace, His love for us (and them) — when He freely gave His life. That will enable

us to forget it and move forward.
