Perfection

Last night we had a lesson on perfection.

The sermon on the mount - Matthew 5:3-11 is where Jesus Christ is teaching the Apostles ways we can become perfect. I know that perfection is not something that we (well me at least) will  likely achieve here on earth, but It it is definately worth working towards. This means taking it step by step.

At TOFW, Sheri Dew shared an experience about climbing a mountain. Now, if you have ever hiked a mountain then you will definately relate to the story. If not then think of the highest peak you have walked, driven or seen on TV. To get to the top of this mountain you have to take one step at a time. Some parts will be a plateau, others a steep climb but with each step no matter the degree of difficulty will lead you to the top. It is not possible to start at the bottom and jump straight to the top, nor is it worth trying to leap through big sections, but by each small step we will get there. As we take those steps we start to notice how pretty it is, then as we get higher and higher the view is astounding! "The higher we tread taking little steps - the better the view." (sheri Dew) Our spirits have such a great desire to grow and progress, and it takes that one step - one little step - at a time to get there, but once we do, the view is soooo worth it!!

thought for the day:

"Reaching Heaven is not about Height - it's about Growth"

Have an awesome day!!!

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
