TO LITTLE NOAH

LETTER FROM NOAH




Dear Arlelerte
I have been reading your wonderful card.  I shall pray every night and every day for my family and friends.
I love this card that you gave me and I'll keep it forever.  I would like another card about life, and how to make it to heaven.
This year I hope you and Rex come to Australia and have fun time.

I am really sad that I left Mauritius and I really miss you.  I have been doing what your card says and it has really helped me.  I believe in Jesus.  He is in my heart and always be.
I would like you to write about the dogs so I don't miss them

From Noah
I BELIEVE IN JESUS.

Dear Noah

Your letter gives me so much pleasure and touches me.

Thank Jesus and your parents for your wonderful  holidays in
Mauritius.  Not everybody can afford them.  It is a gift,
a treasure for your childhood , beautiful memories that may help you
later in life..

But  do not speak too much about them, do not brag, as sometime
it  may be a cause of  sadness , frustration for those who are unable to enjoy  same.

YOUR  LIFE

Now, it is time to go back to the  normal life of a student , that is learning, acquiring  knowledge,  have control of yourself,  of your character, have discipline,  be responsible, looking  for what you must change for the best,  in your attitude towards those around you ,
at school and at home...

Life is not difficult  to live.  If you love it and make a good use of it.,
life  will reward you.

You have only to put your heart in what you do and trust in yourself:

These are your daily duties:
Listen to  and obey your parents,  be helpful.
Avoid quarrels  with your brothers and friends at school
Listen to  and respect your teachers at school,.
Do  your homework and learn your lessons well.
Do not lie or cheat.
Learn to share, to do charity.
Learn to love., make peace.

This time of your life is very precious. Do not waste it .
It will be difficult for you to catch up later. . .

There is a time for every thing  : - --   to play, to sleep, to learn., to eat.
Accept so ,  make the most of it.

------------------

"  TO DAY IS THE TIME  " .

.Do not say  : "I'  ll have time to morrow"
You do not know what  the next day  will be.
MAKE IT A RULE IN YOUR LIFE TO DO  WHAT EVER YOU CAN   "  TO DAY "
This will be your success story.

-----------------

Also   always OBSERVE - LISTEN - THINK -
MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT

THINK WELL BEFORE SPEAKING
SPEAK WITH POISE  - do not get excited.
GO TO THE POINT

ACT ACCORDINGLY

Your education, your knowledge,  the  values -----  you will acquire  ,
they  will be   yours and will  always  be yours. They will be  your reward for all your struggles.
They will make you a man  who shall be able to fulfill a role in society,  be somebody
who can be trusted  with greater responsibilities.

---------------

CAST AWAY YOUR FEARS.
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATER.
BE POSITIVE
BE TRUE
DO NOT BE SOMEBODY EASILY INFLUENCED
ALWAYS WEIGH THE PROS AND CON

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GIVE YOUR OPINION IF YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT
HOLD TO YOUR CHRISTIAN VALUES
BE WISE TO ACCEPT TO BE REPRIMANDED WHEN YOU ARE WRONG,
ACCEPT TO LOSE  AT TIMES

ACCEPT THE ADVICE OF THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER THAN YOU
LEARN FROM THEIR  KNOWLEDGE,
NEVER STOP LEARNING IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT
ALWAYS BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING AROUND YOU, IN YOUR COUNTRY,
IN THE WORLD

DON' 'T BE STUBBORN
LOOK FOR WISDOM
ALLOW THE GOOD TO STAY IN YOUR HEART
DO NOT CHEAT, DO NOT LIE

REJECT ALL THAT  ARE   NOT CLEAR  AND  CAUSE  TROUBLE  TO YOUR SOUL
THEY ARE NOT GOOD.

STAY AWAY FROM FRIENDS, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROY YOU, TO BEHAVE
OTHERWISE.

AVOID  THE VIOLENT ONES,
THOSE WHO TAKE DRUGS, INDULGE IN ALCOHOL  , GAMBLING,   DISCO AND OTHER ADDICTIVE  PLEASURES,
THOSE WHO DO NOT RESPECT   WOMEN,  OLD PEOPLE
THOSE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS
THOSE WHO THROW AWAY MONEY AND BRAG  THEMSELVES.
THOSE  WHO DO NOT RESPECT THEIR BODY ( DO NOT FORGET THAT THAT YOU ARE A SON OF GOD, THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY TRINITY)

EVERY THING THAT YOU MUST HIDE  TO DO , BE SURE, IS NOT GOOD.
HAVE AN AVERSION FOR IT, BECAUSE YOU ARE A SON OF LIGHT.
YOU MUST DWELL IN THE LIGHT OF GOD.

THE CONTRARY  WILL HURT YOUR PARENTS AND TEACHERS ,
PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING A STABLE LIFE., HAVING PEACE OF MIND.

LIKE JUSTICE AND  BRING PEACE AROUND YOU.

AS THE ELDEST YOU MUST  GIVE   GOOD EXAMPLE   TO   MAX AND ZAC

KEEP ALWAYS THE HONOUR OF  YOUR NAME AS YOU HAVE TO  HAND IT  OVER
ONE DAY  TO YOUR CHILDREN AND DESCENDANTS..

YOUR QUESTIONS


You surely are asking yourself many questions. You are curious about life  and  It is good and quite normal . Your parents,  your nono and nona , your teachers  are there to give you  answers, but
it is  also good for  you  to think    about life and find  yourself your answers. Avoid asking your friends, because  they are like you, they are learning, they do not have the maturity and wisdom required and they can twist  realities and advise you wrongly. So be careful as  to  whom
you ask your questions.

LIBERTY

God has granted you  liberty - liberty to love him, to choose him, to obey him,
liberty to make   good use of your intelligence , and  of your   will,   do good actions .

       
Your parents are your  guides ,  so listen to their advice.
Do not be a  rebel who  is a  cause  of pain to them.

Never make your father or your mother weep.  In your
parents Jesus sees his mother crying and he will be angry.

Listen to what they have to say , then quietly speak your thoughts, or wait for a better moment.. Be wise to accept
when they punish you.  This will help you  to be a better
boy.

They care for you, protect you;  they wish you to have a good life, to be  able  one day to  stand on your feet and fight your own battles and be victorious.

The Holy Spirit will help you if you ask Him., and trust Him.
So always listen to the little voice  in you.

Your  parents give you that is most precious  ---"LOVE",  so that one day you may be able to love and give love .

 So many do not know how to love and are unhappy,  and make others unhappy around them.
So watch your heart.

Be wise.

NONO AND NONA

Now, your nono and nona ,  have worked hard, made sacrifices. They have been emigrants compelled to leave  their countries because of lack of work. Life was  very  difficult in those days.

They also, have many things  to teach you.

They love you so much . Learn from their experience. They shall not always be there.

NONA FRANCA

Nona Franca is more than 90 years of age.

So what do you think of this proposal ?...

Ask  Nona Franca about her life in those days.
She has such a beautiful story to tell you..

She told me how  she used to sew all the clothes of the family ,
the shirts and trousers of the men  with her hands , because there were no sewing machine at that time..

Do you imagine it ? ....

Take notes  and rewrite every thing  as a text , so that  your
father and mother,  Max and Zac, even the next generation may have the pleasure to read it and know who  they were . Ask the names of the people, , the village they came from,   their life at that time, during the war, and their journey. to Australia.

  You 'll love it, Noah, and she will be so happy  to see  her little son  interested. Do not be shy to ask questions. Ask  and on my next visit  I shall help you

Jossie can bring you there.

OUR PARENTS


As for me, my father and mother were orphans at a very young age, and I write on them
in another text.

Do you know that I got my first doll at 10 years old  only after obtaining  the primary
scholarship and the medal of Superiority in french in ' Alliance Francaise ' exams.
Life was not easy.  My mother was a primary school teacher and my father was  a humble
cemetery keeper..  I had three brothers and two sisters.  The  end of months were difficult.
At times I heard my mother crying because she could hardly make the ends meet.
But my mother  very proud , never asked for help from his brothers and sisters who
were in a better situation. We lived our life  very simply  and accepted it. We never envied the
others. We had our day at the seaside every holiday, the visits we did to each other and our
family walks  under moonlight.

There were no drug addicts or tramps to attack us at that
time. Life was beautiful.

At that time, we  knew each other,  and used to say hello to our neighbours .  We always
exchange some polite words.
.
Your grand father  Claude, Rex did not have a father, to guide him.  His  mother   had to struggle
a lot in order to give her  two children a proper life.
But he made his life a success. We had four
children and you knew the rest.

START TO WRITE

I know you like to write. So start to write, write about things you like., your holidays, the people
you met, the places you went,  that which is important  to you.


Write, write, .... START TO WRITE  -- Take your pleasure  in it.  Have your opinion on things,
on events,  on people ,even if you are young. Take your time, work your text, make it something beautiful.  Be proud of it.

 As you grow, things will be easier and you may see things  otherwise. It does not matter.
The spirit  of your words  will stay

  Do not hesitate.  WRITE ....

------

MOST IMPORTANT READ..., READ A LOT.
CHOOSE YOUR BOOKS, YOUR SUBJECT
Ask Mamma to help you, she will be so glad.

YOU WILL LEARN FROM OTHERS LIVES  AND EXPERIENCE.

YOU BROADEN YOUR INTELLIGENCE  , YOUR  JUDGEMENT, YOUR WAY OF
THINKING.

------------------

RESPECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT



Our planet is so beautiful with the blue sea, the trees, the birds, the flowers , so many  animals.
So do your  humble part, take care of it in your capacity.  Add your little stone to protect  it.

------------------------


Now, Noah you are  a strong  and an intelligent boy.   You are a good soccer player.
The good and the bad will always be on your path, because of the frailty of human nature.
The challenges of life, be certain, you will have to live them.  But you are aware of them and
you are  surrounded by people who love you.  So trust in you and you will succeed.

Look forward, Noah.
I like this picture 


As requested by you, I am sending you  cards with  beautiful words, which you can share with Nona Franca, Nono and Nona , your parents, Max and Zac.

On the verso of every card that you give  , write "' I LOVE YOU, NOAH" .

IN THE NAME OF JESUS I BLESS YOU ,
I BLESS  YOUR WORK,  YOUR SOCCER
AND EVERY THING GOOD YOU  LOVE AND DESIRE.
MAY GOD REST UPON YOU,
MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU  AND  ALL YOUR FAMILY
MAY HE GIVE YOU HIS PEACE AND JOY.

KISSES
GRANDMOTHER ARLETTE.
