Hope those of you who are reading with us are enjoying the book so far. I know for me it is really getting me thinking...especially about how I act/react to those less fortunate than me that I encounter when I'm out in about.
This popped up in my blog reader which I thought was interested and especially timely.

Seems like they'll be doing a series on the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, so I'll share if the article is interesting.
Without further ado...our first set of Week 2 discussion questions. Had a bit more trouble coming up with them this week so if anyone has any other thoughts to discuss be sure to let me know!
Ch 10 - What do you need to let go of (be it clothes, some other material goods or something not tangible)?
Ch 11 - What are you failing to do?
Ch 12 - Has there been a time when you were able to either look someone in the eye you didn't know or who you didn't necessarily "love" and see God? Describe the experience and what it meant to you.
Ch 10 - I need to let go of some of the expectations I have for my life (how I'm going to get everything done with 2 kids, where we are going to put said 2nd kid in our small house, etc.) and how things will go and instead trust in God that what I need will be provided. Worrying about the future is a commonplace in my life and I would feel so much freer if I could just truly trust in God (and not just say it).
ReplyDeleteCh 11 - I think that right now the main thing that I am failing to do is really cultivate my marriage. We are currently in a season where we are going through the motions of going to work, coming home from work, dinner, play with Hailey, he watches TV while I read. I have so many ideas of how to do this, but have yet to follow through. Now's the time to do it before the next baby comes and things get crazy.
Ch 12 - Not sure I've ever had an experience like this, but am looking forward to seeing if anyone else has.
