Thursdays Child- John 14:12

Thursdays are going to be a regular segment called "Thursday's Child." If you're not familiar with the poem it says;


Monday's child is fair of face,


Tuesday's child is full of grace,


Wednesday's child is full of woe,


Thursday's child has far to go,


Friday's child is loving and giving,


Saturday's child works hard for a living,


But the child born on the sabbath day,


Is wise, and witty, and good, and gay,


I'm calling it Thursday's Child, because no matter where we are, we still have so far to go.


Throughout most of my adult life, I've taught in church. All age groups from adult sunday school down to two and three year olds. The latest being seven to twelve. The coolest verse I've tried to get them to understand is John 14:12. Jesus tells to his disciples that anyone who has faith in him will do the same things that Jesus did, and greater things, because He will be going to the Father. To do something greater than feeding 5000 people on five loaves of bread and two fish, or raising someone from the dead. It's kind of hard trying to imagine topping that. The question is, how could we possibly accomplish this? I won't even try to pretend that I have that answer. It's hard enough to continue a daily christian walk and be a Christlike example. Some topics are just good food for thought to get people searching. There's the verse that says; Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you. That's the main purpose behind Thursdays Child, to keep us all seeking, because we all have so far to go.


Thank You For Searching With Me,
