Having a Daily Schedule and Order in Life

 Transcribed by AI

Radio Voice of Life, the programme of play and discussion. Waking up, getting dressed, making morning tea, and going to school.

After breakfast, our plan includes eating bread, doing homework, helping with housework, and planning for dinner. Then we tidy the room for an hour and read the Bible.

Our evening plan is to prepare for bed, and read prayers for fifteen minutes. Oh mother, this has turned out very well. Our continent has become very clear. I liked it a lot. This programme is like a winter coat. If you use it properly, it will never become old.

Sister, this means that if you follow this plan, your tasks won't be left undone and your heart will be at peace. Mother, I finished my household chores. Can I read the Bible now? Yes, my daughter, because you did your important tasks first.

Mother, I gathered my things, but I still need to pray. Well done, my daughter. Thank God. These two girls are growing wiser every day. One day they might remind us what to do. Now, dear, you always do the right thing.

No, dear sister, sometimes our plans get disrupted. Especially my eating schedule. Sometimes I forget. Girls, today you learned that God loves order, and the Bible tells us that for everything that happens in the world, God has set a time. If you have a plan, your studies will improve. Your time will be more organised. Your home will be peaceful.

Mother, starting today, I will write my plan to keep my work from getting disrupted. And yes, we will find time to help you with housework. Well done, my diligent girls. If you have order, I will make fewer mistakes every day. That’s excellent, my lovely daughters. And as your aunt said, we will also make fewer mistakes.

Beautiful children and sweet candies, listen to your mother and father very attentively. Be clever and articulate children. Good and precious children. Now let’s listen to the next part of the programme together.

Hello and warm greetings to our dear listeners. I pray that God pours His peace into your homes and hearts right now. We have come to today's programme. Greetings to all our lovely listeners. I am Benbasha, ten years old. I really enjoy talking with you, especially when our topic is good.

Hello, my kind and sweet friends. I am Maryam, eight years old. I pray that you all are well. Today I have some very important things to say that I want to learn myself. Hello, lovely ones. Your aunt has come too. I pray that your hearts are warmed by the light of God. May God keep you all in His blessings.

Today we have come to discuss a very important and necessary topic. Dear children, today we will talk about something very simple, yet extremely significant. And that is having a daily plan. This topic may seem simple, but it can change your life from the ground to the sky.

Oh mother, I understand very well what you are saying. On the days when I have a plan, all my tasks are organised. But on the days when I don’t have a plan, everything becomes chaotic. I am the same way. For example, today I forgot to do my household chores first. Then when I went to read, my heart wasn’t at peace. It’s hard to have something unfinished always on your mind.

Well done, my diligent girls. That’s exactly it. Having a plan means knowing what to do and when to do it. It brings peace. Before continuing with a discussion, let me share a beautiful verse from the Bible with you, dear children. The Lord says in the Book of Proverbs, in chapter 18, verse 5, "The plans of the diligent lead to profit, as surely as haste leads to poverty."

What does this mean? It means that someone who thinks and makes a plan and works hard will reap good results. We are in a very good position. It means that God encourages us to have a plan and to strive. Well done, my sweet niece, faith is not just about praying. Order is also a form of faith because we strive to keep our lives within God's wisdom.

Every morning when I open my eyes, I say, "Dear God, I entrust this day to You." This one sentence makes our whole day better. Sometimes I pray but on some days I forget. But when I remember, my day becomes much more peaceful.

Sweet children, do you understand that morning prayer is like turning on a light? It helps people realise that God’s guidance is with them. Dear friends, if you don’t have a notebook, a blank sheet of paper will suffice. Write down three or four important tasks for your day. Aunt, I do this myself. I write down: one, study; two, help mother; three, read the Bible; four, tidy up.

This helps me not to get confused. Sometimes I ask Banafsha for help. She reminds me how to make plans. Dear children, having a plan is not only for work. Time for resting, laughing, and having tea should also be included in your daily plan.

Yes, sister, you are right. If I don’t have a tea time in my plan, my life becomes dull. Aunt, you always have a sweet treat with your tea. Is that part of the plan? Yes, dear, it’s necessary. Because joy is also a part of the plan.

Sweet children at home, do you have a daily plan? Take a moment to think. If you have three important tasks today, what would they be? I am very curious to know if the girls and children listening to our programme have daily plans or not. If you do, you will surely be more peaceful.

Friends, we always want to learn from you. Everyone has their own way of living, but order helps everyone. Mother, do you remember the day I was very upset? Because breakfast was late, I left my tasks half done. I became very anxious.

Ah, Banafsha, you mentioned that day when I was running around and chaotic. Ah, dear aunt, if a person doesn’t have a plan, everything gets out of control.

Friends, do you understand? But there was another day when Banafsha had written down what she needed to do for the day. At the end, she said, "Thank God, I finished all my tasks." Oh, Maryam, today was a great day because everything was done on time.

Dear listeners, having a daily plan is not only for children. It’s necessary and important for mothers, fathers, homemakers, and everyone who works outside. Families that have a plan argue less because everyone knows their responsibilities. And you see, when things are less chaotic, the home becomes peaceful. A peaceful home is a place where God is pleased.

Sweet little ones, now I have a simple exercise for you. Tonight, take a piece of paper and write down three tasks for tomorrow. Start your morning with prayer. See how much difference you feel. I can do this exercise myself. Maybe you can do it too? If you can do it, your hearts will feel at ease because God loves those who have plans.

Today we learned that morning prayer is important. We should also write down our three main tasks for the day. Rest time is also essential, and order brings blessings. A life without a plan is like a book where the pages are torn. A life with a plan is like a book where all the pages are in their proper places.

Oh girls, you gave a great example. I am proud of you two lovely girls. My dear children, I learned a lot from this part of the programme. How about you? I am sure you learned many good things. Yes, dear children, now let’s move on to the next part of the programme.

Maryam, will you be late for school today? No, today I decided to leave early. But you know, Banafsha, I will think too much until it’s time to leave.

Oh Maryam, aunt always says we should leave early so we can be fresh in the morning. Aunt, today you prepared tea on time. Yes, let’s hurry and go before we are late, or aunt will say that unplanned girls always get behind.

Hello to the energetic girls! Hello, aunt! Come on girls, sit down. Today I want to tell you the story of two girls. One is organised and the other is not. Aunt, will their story be like ours? Maybe it will be, maybe it won’t.

Maybe it will be, maybe it won’t. Listen carefully and then tell me. In one of the villages of Balkh, there were two girls. One was named Mahtab and the other Leila. They were neighbours and went to the same school. Mahtab always wrote her daily plan in a small notebook, from waking up to studying and helping at home.

But Leila always said, "Oh, I’m behind." Whatever happened, happened. This means Leila was disorganised? Yes, my dear. Disorganised and thoughtless. In the mornings, she would wake up late. She would drink cold tea and always arrive late for school. But Mahtab, on the other hand, would wake up early, prepare her clothes the night before, and make her tea fresh.

Aunt, how organised was Mahtab? Yes, dear. And this order allowed Mahtab to always get high grades. One day, the teacher announced there would be an essay competition at school. Whoever wrote the best essay would win a prize. Mahtab decided to practice writing every night for an hour.

But Leila said, "Oh, there’s plenty of time. I’ll write it later." The day of the competition arrived. Mahtab had written her essay very neatly and carefully, and when it was her turn, everyone listened attentively. Her essay was about dreams for the future. The teachers were pleased, and Mahtab won first place in the competition. And Leila?

Leila remembered at the last moment that she hadn’t written her essay. That night, she hastily scribbled something down. But it had many mistakes, and she received a low score. When she cried, her teacher said, "Dear girl, God has given everyone talent. But organisation and planning will reveal it." Oh aunt, I am like Mahtab who doesn’t always do things on time.

She said, "No, Maryam. From today, try to have a plan." Oh girls, this is for us to learn that living without a plan is like walking in darkness. A few years later, Mahtab finished school and was accepted into university. Now she teaches at her village school.

Every morning, she enjoys teaching. But Leila is still in a haze, wondering what to do. She always says, "I wish I had been like Mahtab and had a plan." Aunt, does everyone who has a plan succeed? Yes, my dear. God helps those who have a vision for their life. Because God loves people who strive to live with order.

Aunt, tonight I will write down my programme. I want to read it properly in the morning and improve myself. Well done, both of you. Remember that order respects time and brings blessings in life.

Dear children, this story was so beautiful, sweet, and educational. I learned a lot of new things, and I hope it was educational for you too. Yes, Maryam, we learned a lot too. Yes, dear children, we have now reached the end of this programme. Sweet and precious children, I commend you all to God. Goodbye to all of you.

Sweet and precious children, we have now reached the end of this programme.
