I teach the teenage Sunday School class at our Church and the lesson is on making wise choices. Or that is the direction I am going! I always use the book as a basis, but I do my own thing. I am just crazy that way.
Anyway back to the lesson, I am using an object lesson that life is sooo short in the realm of eternity. It is like the Bible says a vapor. I am using a long rope and I have put a piece of duct tape on a short end of it showing that this rope represents our life, and the tape shows our life on this earth. The whole rope shows our life in eternity. I made each of them a small rope bookmark with a little piece of tape on it to remind them that the choices that we make here on earth are they worth it in the scope of eternity.
When I got to thinking about this, I thought about my Momma. She had such a short life, but now she is enjoying her true life in eternity and I can truly say her short little life was well lived. I know that the choices she made both for herself and for us as kids where for the honor and glory of the Lord.
On this Mother's Day, it is my prayer with a heavy heart that I can grow up and be like my Momma some day!
