Mark Your Calendars!

So, I am packing my bags and coming home in 3 days! Craig and I are beyond giddy…we resemble 6-year-old kids anticipating Santa on Christmas Eve…seriously.

While I am home, I’d enjoy nothing more than seeing YOU and catching up on life’s adventures.  Soooo, mom and I have organized a little “open house” to fulfill my desire!  Read on…

Love Makes the World Go ‘Round…

We held a Vesper’s worship gathering this past Sunday night. Here is the station I created. It’s about love: I just LOVE love, don’t you?! : )

L-O-V-E

“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law…and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one rule: ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”    -Romans 13: 8-10

Christ tells us that all the commandments can be summed up into one word: LOVE

-How has Christ shown his love to you in the past? Today?

-In what ways have you displayed love to others this week?

-Are there people you find difficult to love?

-Is it a challenge to truly love yourself?

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.”                                                            -I John 3:16, 18

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Live in harmony with one another.”                                                                                                                 -Romans 12:9-10, 16

 

“As a prisoner of the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”            -Ephesians 4: 1-2

“Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

                                                                                                                            -I Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

 

In other news: Josh had his 28th birthday party this past weekend. Hayley, his wife, did a great job of organizing a celebratory festivity: Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting. 

We spent the day at the park, “firing” guns, and having a blast. The guns looked and felt authentic. (I could barely hold that sucker up!) Rather than shooting a bullet (which would be illegal in Australia) the guns shot out a little laser beam, which we aimed at the plastic discs being propelled by a nearby machine.  If the disc censored the laser beam, you scored points.  There was even a sound effects machine to simulate the shots and clay breaking.  My team, team 5, came in dead last place. But, Josh was feeling generous and gave the medals to the losing team. Hey, wasn’t it Jesus who said something about “the last shall be first.”? Sounds familiar….

Here are some fun photos of the party:
