| SERIOUSLY?? I HATE frozen tundra! LOL! You have a depth and calm that others seem to lack. You're in everything for the long haul. You accept the ups and downs of life better than most people. And you don't get caught up in temporary problems. |
Bible in a Year:
We are co-workers in God’s service.
More than two hundred volunteers assisted October Books, a bookstore in Southampton, England, move its inventory to an address down the street. Helpers lined the sidewalk and passed books down a “human conveyor belt.” Having witnessed the volunteers in action, a store employee said, “It was . . . a really moving experience to see people [helping]. . . . They wanted to be part of something bigger.”
We can also be part of something much bigger than ourselves. God uses us to reach the world with the message of His love. Because someone shared the message with us, we can turn to another person and pass it on. Paul compared this—the building of God’s kingdom—to growing a garden. Some of us plant seeds while some of us water the seeds. We are, as Paul said, “co-workers in God’s service” (1 Corinthians 3:9).
Each job is important, yet all are done in the power of God’s Spirit. By His Spirit, God enables people to thrive spiritually when they hear that He loves them and sent His Son to die in their place so that they can be free from their sin (John 3:16).
God does much of His work on earth through “volunteers” like you and me. Although we're part of a community that’s much bigger than any contribution we may make, we can help it grow by working together to share His love with the world.
Reflect & Pray
Do you see yourself as a part of God’s plan or as someone who works alone in your service for Him? How does this affect the way in which you serve Him and others?
Dear God, thank You for including me in Your plan to tell everyone about Your love. Help me to represent You well with my words and actions.
Hi!
I am the Arctic Ocean... waiting for my Northwest Passage to open up!
Indian Ocean?
You are a warm and welcoming person. You get along with everyone.
You are good natured and always willing to lend a helping hand. You like to cooperate.
You are naturally friendly and just enjoy hanging out with whoever happens to be around.
You believe life is to be enjoyed. And you’re happy to share the happiness!
Why cant I be a Sea? The Aegean Sea!
Pacific
You have a depth and calm that others seem to lack. You're in everything for the long haul. You are resilient and self-reliant. You don't like to have to depend on anyone but yourself.
You accept the ups and downs of life better than most people. And you don't get caught up in temporary problems. You are very stable and able to be a rock for others. You don't let stress rattle you.
Wasn't expecting that one...the ocean, not the description.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
The Indian Ocean.
Because the quiz said OCEAN, silly! I’ll trade with you. I got Arctic. LOL!
Better have a heavy coat! Maybe bearskin!
Love that one!
That would be a great one to be. Bet it’s warm there.
I’m sure it is, however .....
Me either. I’ll bet the description fits you better though! :)
