We were on the section of 'the story we find ourselves in' that discusses chaos/crisis. We decided to have a self-graded report card with the following:
-------------------------------------------------
Effort Grade: E-Excellent, S-Satisfactory, I-Improving, N-Needs Improvement
Achievement Grad: A-Outstanding, B-Above Average, C-Average, D-Below Average, F-Unsatisfactory
For each of the catagories, give yourself an Achievement grade and an Effort Grade:
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control
Matthew 5:48 Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
During the sermon it was mentioned that we all should recognize how we fall short in these areas, but that we are a work in progress - we should not beat ourselves up or be driven to dispair, but rather Love God & Love Others & allow the Holy Spirit to continue to transform us in these areas as we walk with Him - it is a lifetime of growth... (or something like that).
