Deer Day!
Today is the opening day of the Michigan firearm deer hunting season. It is every year here in Michigan while other states around the country have opening day always fall on a Saturday. I grew up in a small farming community, and November 15th was an automatic "No School" day. I was talking with a good friend of mine who teaches in northern Michigan, and he informed me that on his school calendar November 15th still says, "No School - Deer Day." This is a big day to many people here in Michigan, but don't we all have days that that we look forward to every year? Days like Christmas, your birthday, Valentine's Day, your anniversary, etc. can be days to look forward to with anticipation. It is helpful when they are consistently on the same day unlike Easter which fluctuates. The Bible talks about Jesus' return to earth to take all believers home to eternity as a certainty, but without a specific date. It's going to happen, but we don't know when. We should look forward to this day with great anticipation accompanied with plenty of comfort knowing that on that day, we will be with Him forever. Kids always look forward to special days. Help them look forward to this special day with anticipation and comfort!
Family Discussion Points!
Have every member of the family share two of their favorite days of the year.
Have everyone share a day they don't like that appears on the calendar.
Consider what Jesus best day and worst day might be based upon Scripture.
Parents, talk about Jesus return some day to take all believers to heaven - this will be better than the best birthday party your kids can imagine!!
