SEEKER'S NOOK
Hello friends! We celebrate Teachers Day on 5 September to mark the birthday of Dr.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India, born on this day in 1888, who
was also a teacher and an educationist. He believed that teachers should be respected
and honoured for their valuable efforts as they play a significant role in our society. As

WONDER WOMEN
Women in the Bible were wives mothers and daughters, victors and victims, few of them
changed the course of historical events. Individual portraits of various women in the Bible show
women in a variety of roles. While women are not generally in the forefront of public life in the
Bible, those women who are named are usually prominent for reasons outside the ordinary. Test
your knowledge about these extraordinary women in the New Testament. Use this link.
OLD IS GOLD
"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and will
carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you." Isaiah 46:4
Senior Citizens are crowning jewels of the congregation. They carry immense wisdom,
knowledge and experience. They serve not only as a lighthouse to younger generations, but also
are invaluable foundations of society. It is our duty to encourage, care for and nurture them,
make them feel loved and valued even as they age.
BLESSED IN AGING
Blessed are they who understand. My faltering step and shaking hand.
Blessed are they who know my ears today. Must strain to hear the things they say.
Blessed are those who seem to know. My eyes are dim and my mind is slow
Blessed are those who look away. When I spilled tea that weary day.
Blessed are they who, with cheery smile. Stopped to chat for a little while.
Blessed are they who know the way. To bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are those who never say. "You've told that story twice today."
Blessed are they who make it known. That I am loved, respected and not alone
And blessed are they who will ease the days Of my journey home, in loving ways.
To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors - Tia Walker
