"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought the field." Matt 13:44
Find some pirate scarves and paraphernalia. Get some piratey 'arrrrrs' and 'walk the plank', etc going. Maybe you could have a pirate fight (if your kids and you can do it without actually hurting each other)
Get a treasure box, put some chocolate coins or similiar, in it.
Pirates like treasure. Treasure is important to pirates. What would you like to do if you had some treasure?
Some things that are important to us don't cost money, can you think of what they are?
Take a treasure from the treasure box and say something that is important to you.
Pirates get treasure by stealing and fighting other crews. How can you get something that is important to you?

Seeking Life
A woman I know was telling about how she and her husband used to connect with, and serve, people on the street and how she used to enjoy it, and how alive it made her feel. That was before kids. Her life now, similar to mine, involved 3 kids, school, kinder, home, community, part time work and so on. It didn't always seem as 'alive'. So, I've been thinking today about the times and things in my life that make me feel most alive. Hmm, also, I think, at different stages of our lives, we need to see the 'alive' bits differently, or identify them anyway, to see they are actually there. I reckon it can be hard to actually choose to do the things that make us feel most alive.
