"Blessed to be a Blessing" This is the statement from the Documents of the II Vatican Council concerning the education of children and youth.
Christian Education Since all Christians have become by rebirth of water and the Holy Spirit a new creature(8) so that they should be called and should be children of God, they have a right to a Christian education. A Christian education does not merely strive for the maturing of a human person as just now described, but has as its principal purpose this goal: that the baptized, while they are gradually introduced the knowledge of the mystery of salvation, become ever more aware of the gift of Faith they have received, and that they learn in addition how to worship God the Father in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23) especially in liturgical action, and be conformed in their personal lives according to the new man created in justice and holiness of truth (Eph. 4:22-24); also that they develop into perfect manhood and womanhood, to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ (cf. Eph. 4:13) and strive for the growth of the Mystical Body; moreover, that aware of their calling, they learn not only how to bear witness to the hope that is in them (cf. Peter 3:15) but also how to help in the Christian formation of the world that takes place when natural powers viewed in the full consideration of man redeemed by Christ contribute to the good of the whole society.(9) Wherefore this sacred synod recalls to pastors of souls their most serious obligation to see to it that all the faithful, but especially the youth who are the hope of the Church, enjoy this Christian education.(10)

CHILDREN'S MISSION INVOLVEMENT
Planting seeds of love for God's mission in the hearts of children today yields a lifetime of opportunities for meaningful mission involvement. God has blessed the kindergartners at Saint John Lutheran School in Glendale, Wisconsin, with hearts for helping. After taking an imaginary trip to the Kibera Lutheran Preschool in Kenya, the students gave an offering equal to that needed to support one local child to attend this school for one month. They ended up giving enough that would support sending three children to this Kenyan preschool for a full year! Praise God that He can work through vessels as small as these to expand His Kingdom.

For Holy Bible reading, you can go to this site and read anywhere in the HolyBible. KJV, try it. The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting! John Locke
