  Have you ever thought that the trial you're facing might be a divine warning in love? 
  Is that pandemic, illness, earthquake, or accident really just coincidence? 
  Or could it be God’s way of speaking to us? 
  🕊️ In this powerful and deeply moving sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III opens our eyes to the truth behind God’s warnings. 
  He shows us how God loves us enough to shake us awake—to warn us before it’s too late.📖 Biblical Examples of God’s Warnings: 
  1️⃣ Sodom and Gomorrah: 
  2️⃣ The People of Nineveh: 
  3️⃣ In the Days of Noah:⚠️ How Does God Warn Us? 
  God uses many ways to reach the heart: 
  🔹 A painful trial… suffering, loss, failure. 
  🔹 A sudden illness… to push us to examine our spiritual life. 
  🔹 A global pandemic… a collective wake-up call. 
  🔹 A rebuke from a faithful servant… a piercing arrow to the conscience. 
  🔹 A shocking event… shaking our foundation and drawing us back to God. 
  “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:15)🔥 Why Does God Warn Us? 
  ✅ So we turn back from destruction. 
  ✅ So we don’t perish like the people of Sodom. 
  ✅ To prepare us for eternal life. 
  ✅ To lead us to self-examination and repentance. 
  ✅ So our hearts cling to Him—not this fading world. 
  “Unless you repent, you too will all perish.” (Luke 13:3)

  E. Nesbit's classic novel "Five Children and It" was a blockbuster success when it was serialized in The Strand magazine in 1902 and published as a stand-alone novel later that year. It has never been out of print since its initial publication.   The story of "Five Children and It" revolves around five young children - Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb - who discover a lumpy, grumpy sand-fairy (also known as a Psammead). The Psammead take a liking to them and agrees to grant the children one wish every day, but warns them that the wishes will "turn to stone" at sunset. The rest of the story concerns the various wishes each of the children requests...and how terribly they go wrong.   E. Nesbit (the pen name of Emily Nesbit when writing children's books) was one of the most popular, successful and influential writers of her day and wrote over sixty books for children, eleven novels for adults, a number of short stories and even dabbled in horror fiction. Her work has inspired such renowned authors as C.S. Lewis, P.L. Travers (of Mary Poppins fame) and J.K. Rowling.

  Just before the United States enters the Vietnam War, eleven-year-old Bé and her three-footed kitten Mèo must rise above the injustices of war to find the comfort, safety, and love of a found family. 
   
   
   
  Eleven-year-old Bé hasn't spoken a word since her mother left. She hangs on to the hope that one day they will be reunited, but after two years of waiting, it's becoming more difficult. Her father can do little to protect her from her stepmother, Big Mother. Thankfully, Bè has a secret friend, her little kitten Mèo, to comfort her in the worst of times. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, Big Mother has other plans. She accuses her of stealing, and Bé is drugged and sold. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a locked underground bunker being held captive with a group of young women. Bé is too young to understand why they're prisoners, but at least she still has Mèo! As weeks pass, Bé makes a friend her own age, Ngân, even without speaking, and Mèo becomes a solace for the women. 
   
   
   
  A violent uprising enables the imprisoned women and girls to escape. Can Bé and Mèo, and their newfound friend, Ngân, find their way to a safe place they can call home—even though the world is literally exploding all around them?
