Geoffrey and his family decided to stay in Asheville and go to church with us this morning. I invited them to stay with us Saturday night so that they could save some money. The result was 8 people in our 624 sq ft house. Loads of fun. There were people sleeping, jumping, running, playing, sneezing, and fighting all over the place.
We got some sleet last night, we got excited. It does not take much to get us excited.
After we got the little ones to sleep last night, we watched Live Free or Die Hard. Great movie about a man fighting for what he believes in. There are so many things in this world worth fighting for. I'm not necessarily talking about fighting hand to hand combat, but fighting in the sense that it takes some work to achieve our goals. Then, there are things not worth fighting for, but we do any way.
What are you fighting for? What are you using your efforts and skills and energy to achieve? Whatever it is, I challenge you to make sure that you are not merely doing it for your own selfish reasons, but to help those around you.
This picture shows two kids, cousins, who fought consistently all weekend. They fought for toys, a place to sit, for the attention of those around them. ( they had their good moments too). The best times were not when they apologized or shared when they were told to. But, when they would run up to mommy or daddy and say, " Mommy/ Daddy, I shared", and this time they did it on their own.
Remember to share today.
