We had an interesting service at church today. A promise of a fiver, a taste of honey, and a lion or a “Sunday lie in” made the scripture reading interesting this morning. We were reflecting on the power of the Word of God not only to change the heart of an individual but also the heart of a nation. The story of Ezra reading from the Book of the Law and its effect on the people is a moving story.

I was talking to the children about how the Word of God or the ‘ Book of the Law” is described in the Bible. Often it is described in terms of honey being sweet and good to taste.

This post is for the boys and girls who are going to research the riddle that I spoke of found on a Lyle’s syrup tin. What was the riddle? Check it out, what is the story all about? Where does it come from and what is the meaning of the riddle? As promised the first correct post on the blog by a boy or girl gets £5.00 from me next Sunday at church. Remember to post your name on the blog. So get your thinking cap on and post your answer. If you think someone has beat you to it remember it is not just the first post but it is the one with the best first answer who will be the winner.

Since I ‘m giving the fiver, I alone will be sole judge and there will be no appeals. My decision will be final. ( I’ve always wanted to say that by Mrs iTalker always gets the last word!)
