Simply Amazing!

I took a photo on my cell phone of one of the Blue Angel planes last Friday as they were practicing.  I’ve seen the Blue Angels on TV, but seeing them live and “low” like they were Thursday and Friday was simply amazing!  I didn’t get to the air show this past weekend, but I hope all of you got to get a glimpse of them at some point.  We had students, teachers, parents, and other staff all outside last week to watch them just “do what they do” in those jets.

As I left the parking lot and returned to my office, I kept thinking about how amazing those jets are; how amazing the pilots are; how amazing it is to watch them “do what they do.” 

Then, a sobering thought came to mind.  Do I think God’s love is as amazing as those jets?  Do I look at the Blue Angels in absolute awe while taking God’s love for granted?  I’m actually glad I had that thought because the Blue Angels suddenly became some random guys I don’t know flying some blue airplanes.  They aren’t as impressive as God’s love for us.  I spent a lot of time in awe of them last week, and I wish I’d spent as much time in awe of God’s love for me.  It is simply amazing!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  John 3:16

Family Discussion Points!

Have every family member name something they thought was very cool or amazing when they saw it.

Talk about God’s love… how it is more amazing than anything because it changes everything.  Because of his love we are forgiven and will never perish in hell!
