You know, I love things that are pointedly meant for children but the apply better to adults. I guess that it is just the clown in me. I love the innocence of children. Maybe that is why Jesus said that we needed to come to the Father as little children - wide eyes, no agenda, just wanting to be accepted and loved, and wanting to please the one that loves us. I had the following sent to me a while back and I've kept it, to share with others. There is alot of wisdom in the following short paragraph. If I knew who wrote it I would gladly give them credit, but since I don't we'll just say author unknown:
Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark... One: Don't miss the boat. Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat. Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. Six: Build your future on high ground. Seven: For safety sake, travel in pairs. Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs. Nine: When you're stressed, float a while. Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting..
I hope that all of you that read this Blog will be in God's house this Sunday. Invite you friends.
We at New Hope are praying for big things to happen: 300+ in our morning worship services, great fellowship, the presence of God in a big way, and a harvest for the kingdom.
A quick shout to Crystal S. and Ashley R. - thanks for the input for this summer. Pastor Chad - thanks for hanging out and talking with Brandon, Thomas and I. Brandon and Thomas - look forward to seeing you both this Sunday. To all that read this - may God bless you richly.
Until next time - keep your eyes on Jesus and get ready to move chairs Sunday morning.
