Thing We Do In The Name of Fun!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got something stuck in a tree and you tried to get it down with your shoes. We found out that it doesn't always work. As a matter of fact we found that it's down right difficult. We had a primary party on Saturday, which the kids learned about the Armour of God and they got to build a shield of their very own. After the party was over I took my son and a couple of his friends who were walking with us out in back of the church to wait for my other son's who were on a scouting activity.

The kids were bored so they threw their shields in the air and tried to catch them. The next thing we knew one of the boys got his shield stuck in a tree. He took off a shoe and tried to get his shield down with his shoe, only to have that shoe get stuck in the tree. He figured that he had nothing to lose if he took off his other shoe and threw it up to get his other shoe down and got his second shoe stuck. We didn't really have any other way to get the shoes out of tree so we all took a shoe off and tried to get his shoes out of the tree.

A man that was there also lifted one of the boys into the tree and he tried to get over to them on the branch, but this did not help. We just kept trying to get them down with our shoes, no other shoes got stuck in tree, it did however take us a while to get it down. The man that lifted the boy up to the branch was the one who threw the shoe that got them down. Once we got both shoes down the wind blew the shield out of the tree. How incredible is it that we worked so hard and spent so much time trying to get it down and all it took was a gust of wind. It's amazing how the Lord works. Many will say it's just coincidence, but I don't agree. I believe there is a lot more to it.
