Recently, while my grandson Will was over, my youngest daughter showed him how to play a bean bag game. She set up two targets outside and explained to Will how to play, “you stand here Will and try to throw the bean bag into the hole.” She showed him and when she got it in she clapped and cheered and then it was Will’s turn. He knew what the main goal was so when it was his turn rather than stand back and throw the bean bag he ran up to the hole and dropped the bean bag in and then clapped and cheered and watched as everyone else did as well. Did you know in life we have a main goal? In the bible there is a case where Jesus is asked what is the greatest commandment given (essentially He is asked what is to be the most important focus in one’s life) and He replied, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
