Feed The Passion

Every now and then we find ourselves in a place that starts to bore us, things just seem to be the same day in day out. Some times we need to have a bit of a change, a holiday or day out on even just do something a bit different. Like they say, a change is as good as a rest.

I quite often take my sons for a walk in the woods. Now after a couple of visits the woods start becoming a bit dull and the trees start looking the same. So once when I took them in to the woods I said we where going to search for fairy's and the fairy's tree house. I knew in that woods there was a tree with small windows and s door carved into it and new it would make the fairy thing more real.

The next time we went we played pooh sticks and the boys love throwing sticks into the water and disappearing into a tunnel and running to the other end to see it come out.

Another time we came across a stream so I told them we needed to build a bridge to get across.Then one day it started to spit with rain so I suggested we made a shelter an  the boys loved making a little shelter to sit in for a while.

These things make a dull trip to the woods that much more exciting and we always seem to find new ways to create an adventure while there.

being a christian can sometimes get a little dull, and sometimes our faith will seem to get smaller as we go day to day in our lives. However Just like finding new things in the woods to make it more exciting and more to learn, we can do this in our christian lives.

Reading the bible is a great way of learning more about Jesus and finding out more about events in his life. Its a great way to maybe look forward to tomorrow and be encouraged that God wants the best for us.

I'm finding that I sometimes have a feeling of staleness I my faith. But do you know what, reading and learning about the bible just a little bit per day helps to lift and refresh your faith. Just like we feed the hungry we need to feed the passion.
