I love lots and lots of different scripture stories...maybe I'll talk about that a little more on another day. But, in particular today, I wanted to mention Noah and his ark. It's a story that has always made me marvel. How amazing is it that Noah, with all the ridicule, persisted and did what he was told to do. How wicked the world truly must have been. How did all of those animals get along and how did for sure have enough food for everyone? So many issues to think about and logistically prepare for. Noah must have been quite a man and certainly had a good woman at his side. It was fun for me as Marshall seemed to take an interest in all things Noah's Ark and it became his theme, particularly in his bedroom. Hopefully some little grandchild of mine will like Noah's Ark as much as Marshall did, because I sure have a lot of "things" to decorate with!
I really had to smile when I came across this: "Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned From Noah's Ark"Here you go...
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead...it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
