The Yes set off to explore the big wide
Where. But the Where was home to the Nos, who travel in packs and discourage
the Yes at every turn. They told the Yes that the tree was too big to climb,
the bridge too rickety to cross, the woods too scary to explore. But even just
one Yes is stronger than countless Nos.
In life, we are faced with many
obstacles to overcome… choices, where we have to decide YES or NO. Sometimes
it’s scary. That’s OK. Being brave doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to be a bit
scared. There’s a quote we heard at camp which goes:
“There can be no courage unless you’re
scared.”
So, I think we just have to remember
that Jesus is there with us, every step of the way, Jesus gives us strength and
helps us to be brave. He's there saying, 'Yes! You can do it! I believe in you!'
We need to listen for God's voice, to know what path to follow. We need to keep faith in God's everlasting love that strengthens us.

Jesus wants us to have the courage to be ourselves, to
try new things, to stand up for what is right, to be kind to one another, and
to reach out and share the love of God with everyone.
