It’s a beautiful fall Sunday in our parts of the world. I’m in the process of getting ready for a service in the church right next to our house. I’ve been looking forward to this service for quite some time. It’s kind of different. It’s for kids, but also for adults. I’m eager to see if people will come, especially too see if there are children coming. I think there will be.

We’re kicking of a new series of services for Gods children of all ages where we try to speak to and learn with our whole body and mind. Today we are going to play a game and have fun together while we learn new (and old) stuff about our faith. We call the services Sprell Levande Gudsteneste. I don’t know how to translate this into English in an easy way without loosing the meaning. But it is a service (gudsteneste) where we celebrate us being living (levande) creatures playing (sprell) in front of  our living loving God. LOL. Let me know if you find a smashing translation of it We are using this in our Sunday school as well, today the service will (kind of) be a Sunday school class for everybody…. I look forward to it and I hope others do too. Noting like using our whole body and soul to experience God.

This is our text of the day (Mark 10:13-16):

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Church is SO NOT only for the adults or for those understanding it all!

Happy Sunday and Blessed Be <3

I love Advent, but it is super busy, both at home and at work!!

I’ve had family services both this last weekend and the week before and there is lot’s to think about for the services to come. Today, tomorrow and Wednesday is filled with Christmas play with children from kindergarten and school. It is fun (more fun than I remembered) and today went so nice (even thought I were so tired!) – but it leaves me with a messy house and a kid that feel slightly neglected. Thankfully the weekend we’re going away – together – to visit my great friend that I don’t see often enough(!) I look forward to it and to spend some time Christmas shopping in our capital, Oslo (I haven’t been there for years).

Anyhow, this is just a small pop in to make sure you know I’m alive and enjoying the season, even though the days have their challenges. So before I go for some sleep I want to ask you this: What do you do when your kid struggles with the pain of death?!? MT is there at the moment and I have tried about everything I know to help him tackle it. This is gigantic thoughts for a 5 yr old, so I see why he’s struggling so hard – and I don’t want him to just swipe it under the rug and pretend it doesn’t bother him – but I’m looking for a way to make this a tiny bit easier on him!

Hopefully I’ll be back in a few days, there is more to the story with MT and I have lots of photos from our first 8th days of December. I’m keeping a journal of our days and I’m planning to make scrap pages from them as well, as a kind of December Daily by Ali. If I ever get around to it

Take care!!
