Battle!

 When the kids came there was a big battle.

They had been planning this for some time. 

Here is the map of their battle plan.

 It was FREEZING outside but it meant nothing to the children.  They were all excited!




Adam also joined the fight.

After almost 2 hours, they decided to carry the fight inside.

It went on pretty much the whole time they were here.

And what were the moms doing?

Our grandchildren had a battle plan - and God has a battle plan for us.  And we need to dress for battle in this world.  A soldier wouldn't go into battle without his helmet, bullet proof vest, his rifle...  Could you imagine a soldier walking into battle wearing a swimsuit?   

A Fight to the Finish  - Ephesians 6:10-18  The Message

God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.

Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
