When I was growing up we had a weekly tradition that we called "Closure". It would take place on sunday and sort of finish off the week. What is closure? well, all 11 of us (a blended family) would gather in the living room after dinner on sunday. One by one each person was encuraged to share something they learned either that day in church, sometime over the last week, or even just their lifetime. Only if you wanted to. Once you were done, sharing would be passed to the next person. This was not a time to correct, debate, or lecture. It was simply a time to share what you had learned. Some times they were very brief, even one word. Partly because with that many teenagers you should know at least a few want to hurry up and get on with it, and also because thats just how some did it. Others would share longer thoughts.
I would like this to be a place where Closure can take place. Please share Something you have learned. If you are not an auther on the blog, but wish to share, just post what you have learned as a comment on my last post.
been a long time since I posted. Here is my thought. What is THE most important thing in your life? for me it is my family. leave a comment with yours, I am interested in your responses.
I would have to say family too, but then that is a lot of things ;-) I often think about it and I just don't know how my life would be without my family. My three little kids running around the house, one is crying and one is screaming, yelling, you get the picture, it can be crazy, but I still love them more then I have words to express, they really are my world.
Mine I think is my faith. It has gotten me through the worst times, and brought me all of the blessings in my life, including my family. Without my faith I would not have made it to where I am now, if I had made it at all. It also reassures me that if I lose my family (my other most important thing), I will have them close again.
Mine is my relationship with the Lord. It is only through him that I can do the things I do. There is no way I'd still be around or doing what I do without him. Things come and go, even family does, but the Lord remains constant. Constantly there, constantly loving, constantly supportive.
