Watching “Up” this weekend with my kids 4/8, and the scenes about death came on.  Afterwards it was the questions from my 4yo:

Where is the girl?

What happens when we die?

What happens to or bodies?

What is heaven like?

Are their toys in heaven?

Do we have bed times in heaven? 

 

Me trying to put death into a system where a 4 year old could understand it is hard. But what I tried to explain is if we believe in Jesus, and ask him to be in our hearts we are superheros.  What I mean by that is if we believe in Jesus, we never die we live forever with Him in heaven.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Formula for Living:

Live beneath your means

Return everything you borrow

Stop blaming other people

Admit it when you make a mistake

Give clothes not worn to charity

Do something nice and try not to get caught

Listen more; talk less

Every day take a 30 min walk

Strive for excellence, not perfection

Be on time, don’t make excuses

Don’t argue, get organized

Be kind to unkind people

Let someone cut ahead of you in line

Take time to be alone

Cultivate good manners

Be humble

Realize and accept life isn’t fair

Know when to keep your mouth shut

Go an entire day without criticizing anyone

Learn from the past, plan for the future

Live in the present

Don’t sweat the small stuff

It’s all small stuff

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Growing up playing sports, I was a pretty good athlete. Having not exercised a lot since college, I still thought F3 would be pretty easy.  Was I wrong.  F3 definitely keeps you humble but God wants us to be humble.  In humility we are reminded to value others above ourselves.

Philippians 2: 3-8
MOLESKIN:
This being my VQ, it kept me humble because it can be a challenge to lead the workout and do the actual workout. Overall though, it was a good experience.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The WORD today came straight from The Word (i.e. the Bible).  I read a few verses from Matthew 6 (verses 19-21, 25, 26, 33, and 34).  To sum up (please read these yourself), the passage is talking about where our focus needs be:  serving God and therefore getting to Heaven.  Don’t worry about what tomorrow will bring.  Serve God today and “all these things will be added to you”.  It’s not saying what we need will just fall into our lap.  We have to put in some effort, but our focus needs to be on serving Him first because that’s what is truly important.  The trials of this life will be worth it in the end.
MOLESKIN:
Thanks to Booster for the opportunity to Q this morning.  I enjoyed it.  My legs are toast after tackling Jucomanjaro.  That hill is no joke!  Fast-n-Easy did it twice including his pre-ruck!  Trolley showed us how men do box jumps by jumping on top of the table-top instead of the seats of the picnic benches like the rest of us boys.

It was good to meet a few new faces this morning.  I will definitely return to Q again (as long as I am not shunned)!
