    Grace Moments

    We don’t earn it
    by Linda Buxa

    When my kids were 18 months, 3, and 4 years old, my husband was trying to get their help on some chores. They weren’t excited, so he declared, “I’ll give you three Super Helper Points!” The kids raced to pitch in. After all, they were earning Super. Helper. Points.

    In the aftermath of that off-the-cuff-no-actual-plan-in-mind remark, we had to scramble to figure out exactly what Super Helper Points were—and what the reward would be. (At that age, the reward was often ice cream.) After that, we started dishing out Super Helper Points like Monopoly money. Charts were made, progress tracked, ice cream purchased.

    Sometimes it’s easy to think that good things from God work like Super Helper Points. If I follow the rules, God should reward me. If I’m helpful at church, I won’t have budget problems. If I work hard, I should get the promotion. Ultimately, if I was a good person, then I should get into heaven.

    That is not at all how God works. It’s not at all about what we’ve earned. Instead, “it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).

    It’s not at all about if we’ve been a super helper; it’s only about how Jesus helped us. By dying on the cross to pay for our sins, he earned heaven for us. It’s a gift, and we can’t boast.

    But I still hope there’s ice cream.

    It’s Saturday night down under and Mrs Leoht brought me home a bottle of Bundy! 9DE759F5-F9D3-4940-B7B9-92CEF2A4B999.jpeg
    Using my favourite mug that I purchased at the Cabelas Store in Dundee Michigan.

    Now I know there are a few members that know what Bundy is all about.:drunk:

    I've never had it, but wished I would've sought it out when I was in Fiji when my wife and I first started dating. There's tons of products and people from AUS and NZ in Fiji. I love rum, especially dark rum. Looks like you can't buy that here in the USA.

    I can't complain though, we've got all the Caribbean rum I could ever want to drink here.:coldone:.

    Even then though, I'll keep the Bundaberg in the back of my mind the next time I get to that corner of the world. :thumbs:

    Started the woodstove going in the shop last night first time this fall after sawing off and on yesterday. Felt good to have a cold one while enjoying the heat. Taking the day off today and being with my wife in our home. Tomorrow I will install a new chain on my saw and go at it again. May show a picture after I get more done. Got allot of splitting and stacking ahead of me soon. Hope you all are enjoying your day.
