COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings; name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by. When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold. Count your many blessings, money cannot buy - Your reward in heaven, your home on high. |

INTERNET SAFETY TIPS for Parents and Guardians
1. Set appropriate ground rules for your children’s use of wireless devices. Decide who they may communicate with and how they may use these devices.
2. Monitor your wireless bill to keep track of the amount of time your children spend talking and sending messages and with whom. Pay special attention to numbers or messages from people you do not recognize or have not approved.
3. Teach your children to tell you if anyone sends them a threatening or frightening message. If your children are being stalked, harassed, or threatened in any way, report the incident to your service provider and local law-enforcement agency. If the material is lewd, obscene, or illegal also report it to www.cybertipline.com or 1-800-843-5678.
4. Remind your children that text messages may be intercepted or used by others. Teach them to use appropriate language in their messages while being sure not to reveal personal or identifying information.
5. Know your children’s passwords and assist them in setting up their account.
6. Consider creating settings to control or prohibit access to the Internet, e-mail, and text messaging through your children’s wireless device. Remember a global-positioning system (GPS) option, if offered by your service provider, could be used to help locate your children if lost.
7. Monitor your children’s wireless use just as you do their online computer use. Keep the lines of communication open with your children so they will be more likely to tell you if they have concerns about someone contacting them or information they have received.
