For a better life and a better eternity
Okay, okay, I understand that Bible study goes a bit deeper than determining the color of a balloon. At the same time, I think this video parable/analogy/illustration should cause us to stop and think.
Enjoy and remember, when you know the truth, the truth shall set you free.
I’m usually not very fond of the videos where someone plays God. Something about it often sets me on edge. However, I’ve seen a couple lately that I really like. God’s Chisel was a great one. Here is another one posted by OneTime Blind. I think I like this one because that other character, the one whose not supposed to be God, reminds me way too much of me.
Time for some surrender. Enjoy.
You have probably all seen the Mom Song that Anita Renfroe did chronically all the things a Mom say to her kids during the day. If you haven’t, I posted it at the bottom of the post and you’ll want to check it out first.
After posting that viral video, she received lots of e-mails from Dads saying, “What about us?” So she redid her song to give the Dad’s kid interaction for the day. Here it is.
Okay, I know on the YouTube page where I found this people just went berserk blasting Renfroe. I thought this was a hilarious. It’s a joke people. Get over it.
However, Dads. Let’s do better than this. The fact is, whether we are talking about Dads or Moms, the amount of time we spend in meaningful conversation with our kids is probably not anywhere near what it ought to be. Why don’t you ask your kids if they think you spend enough time with them. No, don’t whine to me about your work schedule. Don’t tell me about how busy you are. Just ask your kids if they think you spend enough time with them.
Look, obviously you have adult responsibilities like a job. But don’t forget that one of your first adult responsibilities is your kids. Don’t leave them out in the cold claiming you are really thinking of them as you spend all your time working, watching television, or surfing the net.
Certainly, reading this post is part of your responsibility to your children. But now that you’re done with that, go do something with your kids.
By the way, as I said above, here is the MomSense song. Enjoy.
I’m finally able to hop on the computer at home. Our internet has been fixed after being down nearly a week. I have a power cord for my laptop so I can actually turn it on. I had thought it was too late to worry about getting a Springboard for Your Family up, but I wanted to check my e-mail now that I had the chance. My good friend Clay Gentry forwarded a link to this video and I simply had to share it immediately.
I don’t have anything to say about it. Just check it out. Grab your tissues first.
I’m sending out an extra springboard for you today. Marita showed me this video earlier today and I just have to share it. I know some of you won’t agree, but I hope you will at least give ear. Feel free to discuss, but please do so charitably.
I posted this video on my congregation’s website last week. It moves me so much, I wanted to put it here as well. I hope you enjoy and are moved by your spiritual springboard today.
