“The burden of men was so heavy for God Himself that He had to endure the Cross. God truly bore the burden of men in the body of Jesus Christ. BUT he bore them as a mother carries her child, as a shepherd enfolds the lost lamb that has been found.” 😮‍💨😮‍💨

First part is fire, but the second part makes it so complete 🤧

David has some good insight. So far he’s helped build a curiosity for the intricacies of other people’s lives. In weaknesses and strengths. A decent bit is relative to personal experience, but helpful nonetheless. As a journalist, he’s shown a knack for being a curious dude.

“When another person is talking, you want to be listening so actively that you’re practically burning calories.” Lol

It ain’t called “deathly” hallows for nothing. Sheesh

“There is a danger of being imbalanced if we base our ideas of discipline, etc., on a reaction to any culture which is based on wrong thinking. Instead, balance comes through being positive and realistic. We have to study the child’s needs as a person, and consider what is fully human, balanced, and whole.” She then quotes James 1:5… wise woman. It’s a blessing to pocket these tidbits of wisdom!

All good things must come to an end 😔

🤧almost there

🥺

Sectumsempra goes hard

“Assume and tell a child again and again that he is bad, selfish, or lazy, and you will bind him by your expectations.”

Sheesh 😮‍💨

“But one of the saddest things I know is to watch students at L’Abri look at a group of children, involved for hours in satisfying play, and comment, ‘I’ve never seen children playing like that.’ No? Then weep. Even childhood is robbed of the riches of humanness. It is appropriate to pause and think about that.”

A ton of wisdom from her 😮‍💨

Dang

Bonhoeffer on reading through Scripture… “It is more important to know what God did to Israel and His Son Jesus Christ than to seek what God intends for us today. Jesus Christ’s death is more important than my death, and his resurrection is the sole ground of my hope to be raised on the Last Day.” (Pg. 29) 🔥

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4 🔥🔥

“It’s just hard to realize… that he’ll never write to me again.” iykyk 😭😭

Snape lookin a lil sus ngl 🤨

“Perhaps because it’s so rare in our times, welcome beautifully expressed God’s vision for human relationships. In a culture that emphasizes fast meals, online relationships, and casual hookups, hospitality is a truly countercultural experience.” (Pg. 20)

Wild how rare hospitality is in our culture. The love of strangers is a beautiful aspect of the Gospel.

(In light of Luke 14: 12-14) “… Kierkegaard explores a less obvious question about the story: Why does Jesus call the meal for the rich relatives and friends ‘a luncheon’ or ‘a dinner,’ whereas the one for the disadvantaged he calls ‘a banquet?’ (Pg. 50)

Powerful 😮‍💨
