The meaning of ooh-ma

ooh-ma. ooh-ma. ooh-ma.

Lauran smiles and exclaims, "She means mama. She is really saying mama."

But I thought about it and looked down at Elizabeth Anne. ooh-ma. ooh-ma.

"No, I said. It means: Pick me up big person. I am tired of sitting here and I want to be entertained. Also, I am getting a little hungry so get busy with the prunes and carrots. After I eat, I would like a short nap and when I wake up, more entertainment. Finally, my pants are a little bit damp so hurry up and change me."

That about sums up ooh-ma.

Lesson Recap!

Today's lesson was from Luke 22:14-27

If you had one week to live - what would you say to your loved ones? What would you want to communicate to them? What would you want them to remember?

When reading this passage, we find Jesus in this situation. This is his last supper with his loved ones. He knows he will be crucified soon. Jesus has one day to live - so it's crucial that he gets this point across, That life is best lived remembering HIM.

He takes a loaf of bread and breaks it into pieces. "This is my body given for you."
He takes a cup of wine. "This wine is a token of God's new covenant to save you - an agreement sealed with the blood I will pour out for you"

Jesus had one last time to talk with them. He could have told them about all the mysteries of the universe. He could have made them rich. He could have told them anything - but he chose to break bread and pour wine.

The most important thing for them and us to understand is that our lives are best lived in remembrance of HIM. Remember - he died for us, you, me - so that we could live.

With that principle in mind, we challenged ourselves to tell someone close you care about them. Then, do one small (or big) act of service for them.

Life is best lived in remembrance of HIM.
