So yesterday was a wonderful day. I enjoyed coffee with Mr. Ladd, the weather was beautiful, I had my family working with me in the garden, and then came the best part . . . BOWLING!!! Yep, I had so much fun bowling with all the kiddos of First Christian Church. I got to see some really interesting forms of bowling such as drop kick, slam dunk, drop and roll, swing to the left, throw to the right, sit and spin, gutter lunges, toe breakers, wipe outs, and granny lunges. For most everyone, yesterday was the FIRST time ever to go bowling. I think we had great fun!
I saw kids and parents helping each other out
with carrying balls and teaching each other how to roll the ball. I saw friendships forming. I also saw you cheer each other on, high
five, give each other bumps, hug each other and pat each other on the
back. You know what God’s word says
about friends?
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one
will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not
another to lift him up! Again, if two lie
together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might
prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not
quickly broken.
I think you were doing exactly as God’s word says . . . you were
lifting each other up!! My prayer for
you today is that you always be surrounded by people who care about you and
want good things for you. I also pray
that you surround others with positive thoughts and care. So, when you see someone in need of a friend,
take a minute to be a friend.
Let us pray:
Dear Jesus, thank you for allowing us to come
into your house of worship this morning.
Thank you for these wonderful rain showers which will help water the
earth and provide bountiful crops. I
thank you for bringing each one of these children here this morning to hear
your word. Help us to be a friend to
someone today. We love you and praise
you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
