Get Below The SurfaceYesterday we looked at Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
It gave us a chance as a class to get to know each other on a deeper level. Each person had to answer the following 4 questions:
- bring one item that represents your personality
- bring one item that tells us what your family is like
- bring one item that describes your favourite thing to do
- bring one item that represents your relationship with God/your spiritual life.
The answers shared were very insightful. Here are a few anonymous ones:
One item that represents your relationship with God/your spiritual life:
- "a watch - time is important"
- "a sweater - keeps me protected and warm"
- "Batman and Robin - a protector and father figure"
- "a cell phone - can talk to God any time"
- "a Bible - read it when I'm bored"
- "books and movies - I can apply God to real life"
- "a seed - it's growing
- "electricity - with God we couldn't run"
- "a cross - God is always with me"
- "onion - many layers, deep, everlasting"
