Question & Thought for August 12th, 2016!!!

Good Friday Morning!
1. Question – Describe an experience where sacrificially loving another person brought you joy and peace. How would you explain this “paradox of the gospel” to your children – that you found your life when you gave it away?
2. Thought – The Heart of the Matter:
  • Our children will treat people the way we treat people.
  • Fathering the heart means teaching our children to think of others before thinking of themselves.
  • Your children will love with abandon by you and Christ.
  • Fathering the heart means teaching our children to relate to all types of people.
  • Because we are made in the image of the triune God, we were made for relationships. (The Dad in the Mirror by Patrick Morley and David Delk)
“The human mind is made for truth.” (James Sire)
No texting and driving. Drink water – alkaline water if you can. Exercise. Meditate and be grateful – it brings simplicity – and simplicity brings order – which brings harmony and thus beauty and just sometimes, sometimes, we get a slash of Joy!
