I don't feel like blogging!


4 Kids

I don't feel like blogging! I would rather fly a kite or fish for bass or even walk in the park. I feel like going to Disney World or swimming in the ocean or picking wild flowers. Maybe I could eat some pizza or mix some pudding with bananas or play with toy cars. I don't feel like blogging! I want to run in the sunshine or swing on a park swing or carve a new walking stick. I feel like stepping outside and screaming at the top of my lungs. I want to spread a thick layer of peanut butter on bread and eat every gooey chewy bite washing it down with fresh ice cold milk. I want to bake cookies with chocolate chips in them arranged so that every cookie has a happy face. I don't feel like blogging!

Maybe I should stop now and run to Starbucks for a flavored latte and a free pastry. Okay, talked me into it. Have a nice day and remember that whatever you find to do, do it with all your heart. Today is the day the Lord has made.

3-2-1-0


4 Kids

Today is one of those special days that rarely comes along on the calendar. March 3, 2010, or 3-2-1-0 is today's date. It is like a countdown day. When I was young, there were many rocket launches happening as America worked at sending people to the moon. I can remember counting down with the guy on TV as different rockets prepared to launch.

Then, my friends and I built model rockets. It was a huge thrill to countdown and watch something we had created fly into the sky at lightning fast speeds. The smoke trail behind each rocket shot up so high that it disappeared. Then we would watch carefully trying to track the rocket as it fell back to earth. Sometimes it would fall onto a roof or into a neighbor's yard or tree. But, it was always FUN!

Maybe you have counted down as you waited for the New Year or for a favorite show to begin on TV. I know you have counted down as the days passed leading up to Christmas, Easter, or even your birthday.

The Bible tells of a countdown that is happening right now. All of time is counting down until one day the trumpet of the Lord will sound and Jesus will return. It will be awesome to watch what happens when that countdown is complete. You can be ready for that special day by trusting Jesus with your life, living for Him, and serving those around you.

That's all for now. Today has been a special day. But, then, every day is a special day when you are living for God. There doesn't even have to be a rocket launch.
