Inspiration

Last Sunday, I was responsible for the kids in  my church.
 We watched a movie together and I hoped they would be inspired by its message.  We can call us lucky, because  we  have a room in our church, we use as a cinema. There are cozy seats and a big screen.
So we watched the movie  "Letters to God". Even though it`s a movie for children, it is so inspiring and sincere, every man in different ages can learn something by watching it.
With this short summary you can see into it :)

Tyler was a nine year old boy with cancer. Mostly every day he got cancer treatments.  This little boy was believing in a trustworthy God. So like kids are, having a strong believe and trust in something, he wrote daily letters to his father in heaven. A mailman, who was also a good friend of this family, took and kept those letters. He was so blessed by those letters. One day he went on Holidays and another mailman, called Proxy, was doing his shifts. By picking up those letters daily, he was overwhelmed. From time to time he  became acquainted with the family and their situation. After getting to know Tyler`s mum more, Proxy began to read the letters as well. All in all you can say that Tyler`s letters to God changed his life.

Caused by this movie , a move started last summer Thousands of people got encouraged via facebook to write a letter to God. One day there were found many letters at the mail office. Itwas even broadcasted via the TV.
 
I just want to thank all people ,which have kids or not, for talking  with  children about God. Even in the age of two, children recognize that there is someone who protects them.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord (psalm 127,3)
They are worthy. Jesus loves kids and he blesses them.
16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them. (Mark 10,16)
Parents have the order to tell their kids from God and to be a great exmple.
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6,6-7)
So listen to kids, you can learn a lot. J

Special Person

Today, I´m going to  write something about a special person in my life
Two years ago, I got to meet her for the first time. After my time in middle school, I had to make a decision for a new one. It was time for high school.
So in August the school started and Svenja spent two more weeks abroad, in England. Joa it`s just high school which started, missing the first two weeks is not a problem at all. :D can you read my sarcasm? Better not! So my classmates where so excited for her to come back and I just didn`t know who she was. "What there is a girl named Svenja in our class? Good to know and hey yeah sure I will write something on the welcome banner for her." The first day, she was actually really nice. Don`t understand me wrong, she is still nice, but it was nice to know that the unkown girl was actually quite nice. Here is the reason, why I think she was nice. Svenja: "Hey do you want to try some English scones?  I`m not able to remember if I liked them, but what I  remember is one thing: it was really nice of her. Time after time, I got to know her more. In the same year (2010) we went to Berlin. What is really mentionable, yes I mean it, she was so caring.  We had so much  fun together. Freezing at those cold "Weihnachtsmärkte" and trying to warm ourselves up with tea from Mc Donald`s, walking around with soked shoes from the watering snow in Berlin. Haha yes friends for every life time situation.
During our school breaks we spent much time talking, laughing and sitting on this old, smelling and wonderful used sofa`s. The day where we went to the movies together and watched a film with the handsome Matthias Schweighöfer, is stuck in my mind :D. Last year we went with some mates from our class to an Irish Pub, which is also known as a karaoke bar.
It was hialrious, seeing her dancing and singing at the stage.
Oh and did I mention her beautiful brown eyes? It`s like a puppy is starring at you and all of the sudden you get caught by it. All in all, she is one gorgeous girl, who  I can call my friend.
One funny thing at the end:
 Sometimes she talks to you in a serious way and you think she means buisness.  While I`m thinking about the truth in her story, if she is really serious about it, she doesn`t change her face at all. In her Position, I already would have started to laugh so hard, but she just kept being serious. She is a pro in that. :) In my gullibility, I  for sure belived her- every single word.  It`s just often hilarious. We`re able to laugh without saying a word. Thank you for that.


This was in Berlin...
... and this in Norway ♥
