Kaleo Ministry

This Friday was fun as we prepared some boxes for Operations Christmas Child. It was cool getting the chance to prepare and wrap up a box as I was hesitating about the whole idea earlier. Probably mostly out of selfishness.

This Sunday I was able to help out in Sunday school. I have not been able to help out a huge deal yet but my hope is to one day plan and prepare a class. In the mean time it will be good to learn from Wanda and help her out and to gradually better my skills. So far I am learning that these kids are pretty energetic and you have to get a little serious with them sometimes in order for them to settle down. I really want to keep the focus of showing these kids how to do what is taught and not just tell them.

Today at church the topic was holiness and again we had communion. This week I herd a sermon on the computer about men needing to love their wives. It talked about the amazing love Jesus had for us and his father as he died on the cross. We hear about this death so often, yet if we ever begin to say or think "whippty do" Jesus died,not caring to expand on what this means or becoming annoyed with this message, we cannot know how to expand in our love. Were supposed to love our wives as Christ loved the church. Give yourself up as God gave his son up(Ephesians 5:25).

So this kind of opens my eyes up a little more to the whole communion thing. It is a time to focus on the death of Jesus, and through his strength he could keep giving me a more advanced understanding oh what this all means. I believe I'll never know fully what this all means because I need something to hope for. To hope that God really is bigger and more amazing than we could ever know in this human life (Romans 8:24-25)

There was lots of helpful verses thrown out by Harry today to describe Holiness, how people react to it, fearful and face to the ground, how we might call out in humility like Moses and Job saying "Who am I" and God's like ya, without me you are nothing. So this brings me back again to Romans 12:1-2. Give yourself to God, let him reveal, teach, give you strength, understanding.....
