Many relevant topics today are discussed in smaller groups and larger groups, such as church discussions. When I have questions about what God’s Word teaches on a certain topic, I ask a parent or family member. As a young person, I learn about what God’s Word says through sermons, presentations, discussion and visiting with family and friends.
Daniel: The stories of Daniel and David overcoming adversity comfort me. They trusted in God. Psalm 23 also gives me comfort. God is guiding my life and path toward our heavenly home.
I grew up at Jämsä opisto, then moved house a few times, and finally settled at Lohiranta, Posio, which is where my husband comes from. I have already lived here for more than half of my life.
Our house has been my home for most of my life. Before that it was the home of a Karelian family evacuated from their own home during the war. They had some dairy cows and lived in a small cottage.
“Mummy, you are here for me. You are here for all of us who are dear to you”. The words spoken by our three-year-old make me pause with a warm feeling in my heart. “Yes, I am here for you”, I say. “For every one of you who are dear to me”.
Do you remember how, as a child, you sometimes lay down on the snow-covered ground and gazed at the starry sky? Maybe you even recognized some of the constellations. Do you remember that strange feeling? That space seemed so large and alien, wonderful and fascinating. Maybe even a bit frightening.

Mother makes sure there is a kampanisu for each of her friends. For her, the comb-shaped kam¬pa¬ni¬su pastry is the best treat she can ever give to anybody.
We have a large tower of toilet paper in our living room. The tower is as tall as the children and quite unstable. Using gymnastic rings, the children one by one swing over to the tower and kick it over. The room is full of laughter, joy and giggles.
It is a crisp, cool autumn afternoon. I realize I have enough time after the school day to drive to our country cottage, pick a pail of currants and make them into juice on the wood-burning stove. What better way to unwind after a day in a noisy classroom!
”Many thanks for sending your sample blog text to Päivämies! We would like to invite you to start as a new online blogger.”
I used to write a column for Päivämies. That was a fun project. Sometimes I had problems meeting the deadline. It was a big relief to be able to put the typewritten pages into an envelope in the morning and drop the letter into the mailbox on my way to work. Sometimes, however, I wrote the next column while still working on the previous one.
