In a Nutshell: We’re Eager
Anna Sherod in Kessenuma, June 23, 2012
“Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?” – 1 Peter 3:13
The last few days, we have been eager to do good.
We have been rethinking how we spend our time, exploring some ways to be more “servant-like” in Kesennuma – crazy ideas have ranged from sleeping in a tent as the weather warms up (to save money on hotel rent) to more manageable ideas…like creating some artwork for the center based on the story of the sower and the seed, and planning the distribution of Japanese children’s books to those who lost theirs in the Tsunami through the generosity of the cutest Japanese-American Kindergarten/Youchen in Chicago EVER.
Kate has really stepped up and made our English classes more fun at the center, bringing her teaching experience to ESL. We talked today about how grateful we are to have ESL classes as a platform for conversation. There are so many little opportunities to share your faith in every class:
“What is a ‘Nutshell?’”
“..’nutshell’ is an English word that means a short summary – it’s where you take a long story and put the important part into one sentence. The first time I heard the word ‘nutshell’ was about the Bible…the Bible is a long book, and sometimes we say that John 3:15 is the long story in a ‘nutshell’.”
Just leaving the opportunity out there. He could easily have asked me what John 3:16 was…but maybe he’s just not ready yet. So we moved on.
I’m so eager for the remaining time I have in Kesennuma. Sometimes my English/English-Bible students ask about our motivation for being here, and that’s probably the best question ever, because our motivation is thanks. Thanks be to God for our joy because of the gift of his Son: we are eager.
Here’s the reason for joy in a nutshell:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
