Oh, Eeyore!
Why so sad?

  
  
Jesus said to us:

Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and 
overburdened, and I will 
cause you to rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and
learn of Me, for I am gentle
(meek) and humble (lowly)in 
heart, and you will find rest 
(relief, and ease and refreshment
and recreation and blessed quiet)
for your souls.
30 For My yoke is wholesome
(useful, good-not harsh, hard,
sharp, or pressing, but comfortable,
gracious, and pleasant), and my 
burden is light and easy to be borne.
		Matthew 11:28-30

  
  

Jesus is telling us to come to
Him. To give him your worries and 
cares...and He will bring us rest
and comfort us when we are down.
He says to take up a life with Him,
learn His ways, for they are easy
and light.
Jesus is telling you that He loves 
you and wants to be there for you
all the time! He IS a true friend!

  
  



"Oh Pooh! what did you do? You silly old bear!" 
says Christopher Robin when he sees Pooh stuck 
in Rabbit's hole.
"Oh Bother!" sighs Pooh,"I've seem to have
gotten myself in a rather tight spot."

  
  
But be not far from me, O Lord;
O my Help, hasten to aid me!
	Psalm 22:19

Our inner selves wait (earnstly)
for the Lord; He is our Help and
our Shield.
21 For in Him does our heart rejoice,
because we have trusted (relied on 
and been confident) in His Holy Name.
22 Let Your mercy and loving-kindness,
O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to
our waiting an hoping for You.
	Psalm 33:20-22

  
  
I will lift my eyes up to the hills
from where shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
	Psalm 121:1-2

  
  
God is our help! 
We don't need to worry or be afraid
because He is with us. 
Sometimes God sends people to help us
when we are in need. Look how He 
sent Christopher Robin to help Pooh!
Who do you go to for help?
...Mom...Dad...family...good friends...
Are you a good helper?

  
  







"Sleep well, little roo. I will watch over you."
sighs Tigger, as he rocks roo to sleep.

  
  
God watches over you all the time!
Listen to what David said about God
in the 23rd Psalm:

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in 
green pastures;
He leads me beside the
still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the path
of righteousness for His
Name's sake.
Yes, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil,
for You are with me; 
Your rod (to protect)
and Your staff (to giude),
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy 
shall follow me all the days
of my life.

  
  
With God we are never alone!
With God we are protected, and 
comforted, and strengthened even
when things aren't looking too
good. He is right there guiding
us, helping us.
We don't have to be afraid of
anything when God is in our life!

No wonder we love to praise Him, 
and give thanks to Him and sing 
songs to Him!
He is a Wonderful, Awesome, Mighty 
God!
