Friday's thoughts

"Go for the Gold"

This is a great theme when we are thinking about our children and the role of the church. We have asked them to bring their trophies to church Sunday. We want to acknowledge their accomplishments.

What we provide our children through our church is the following:
1. A sense of confidence so that they will know they are "number one"; so that they will have the assurance to try to do incredible things and, if they fail, to know they can try again.
2. A sense of character so that they will have the internal stability to do what they must do to do the right thing and stand up against the crowd.
3. A sense of God. The sense of God provides a balance to life and a perspective. The sense of God helps us make certain that our "trophies never become idols" and "our character never becomes egotism".

Go for the Gold
Your character is good as gold
Find God in your life

There is balance and hope in a world of financial crisis and tragic violence.

Confidence, character, and God. Is there anything more important than that? If you have thoughts on this write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you are willing to have others read your thoughts click on the box below.
