Some have actually decided that they will not come to ShakenUp! because they are not prepared to spend 10 minutes listening to the 'God slot' at the end. Already, at 11, or 12 they have decided that the 'God thing' is not for them. I hope they get another chance.
Aww Dad, thats really sad. Did they tell you that themselves?
ReplyDeleteJesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’,
‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”
Matt 13:24-30
I guess the enemy got to them. Don't worry, you might not be the harvester, but you can still keep sowing. They will get another chance. Sublimminally it takes 10 goes to get a child to like something...
