What I learned at Church!

This is what I have learned this week:

Things that we enjoy in our lives can be catatorigized into 3 different catagories:

Rubber

Metal

Glass

Now write down all of the things that you like and love ~

Now start to put them in the correct catagory ~ Rubber should have the things that would be okay if we didnt do them - shopping, internet usage, tv watching - etc...its things we like but we could bounce right back from them if we didnt do them

Metal is the things that if we didnt do them - we would hear a lot of noise when dropped and would make things uncomfortable - not attending your child's sporting event, forgetting your spouses birthday -etc...

Glass is the things in our lives - that if we dropped them - they would break - our relationships....

We need to strive to never have broken relationships

Our Pastor went on to say this ~ this is what the Bible gives as a priority list:

Personal Relationship with God
Relationship with Spouse
Relationship with Children and extended family members
Job
Church

We need to remember and attend to these priorities and it all makes sense to me. I felt a huge message from this past Sundays Sermon and wanted to share it with you all. I hope it helps someone else that needs to hear this message. I know it helps me put my relationship with my children and husband into prospective and that maybe when they are all grown up I really will be ok...because I will still have my top 2.

Love you all and God Bless,
Tammy
