CHRISTIAN BUCKET
LIST
I came across this article on a Christian blog. Find link
below
I had never thought of this before. Yes, I have done a
bucket list before, didn’t follow through it all so this list will definitely
be interesting to do. Here goes [edited a few though]
1 Get saved. Did that in 1998 the
best decision I ever made. Ok I got fully sold out in 1998 otherwise I was
those people who prayed the sinners prayers a zillion times but when I finally
understood what living for Christ meant, I never looked back and have never
regretted it since.
2. Do the same
thing--locking the house up and moving to a community in
another county--where you don't know a soul.
Mmmh! Maybe visiting don’t know about moving. Something to consider for
sure. Though I did move to a church where I didn’t know anyone 10 years ago,
does that count? Or there was also a time I was away from everyone I knew with
limited communication for a month. Guess that counts….
3. Pack some things,
lock your house up, arrange to have a friend look after your house, ask the post office to forward your
mail. I have gone away from home before see no 2
4. Take your entire
family on a Caribbean cruise. When I can I definitely will I’m a
sucker for a good holiday.
5. Forgive someone. I do daily and I do my best to keep
doing that.
6. Find someone who
changed your life and do something special for him/her Done. The person
doesn’t know how much but they will J
7. Deepen Yourself Doing that as we
speak. I love my new class I learn so much about God’s Word.
8. Widen yourself. I do this especially on line. I learn a lot
by not keeping my Christian walk in a box and sheltering myself from what the
world really thinks.
9. Postpone your
bucket-kicking event. Yes I will eat better, exercise more and take better
care of myself
10. Make your own
bucket list. Did that some years back… need a new one for sure
11. If you live in the
area where you went to school, buy season tickets to the ball games. Attend and
cheer, learn the names of players, and act like a kid again. Yet to ever go watch
a sports game since Primary School Sports day. Mmmh
12. Throw a street party for your neighborhood. That would be fun, did that almost 9 years ago, does that count?
13. Develop a 15
minute comedy routine--and present it in public. Hmm I did that I
don’t know if I want to involve the public.
14. Read a book of Christian theology The only reason am reading one is because of the class am taking. Find them
boring. Not all but the one am reading now, yeah am just bearing with it.
15. Plant a flower
garden. Yeah need to revive my garden.
16. Master one of the
new techni-gadgets. Done…. Wish they didn’t change so much though

reading this list

mission trip. Did that once, don’t see myself doing it again
27. Buy a pastor a
suit of clothes. Hmm there is a thought
28. Wash someone's
feet. Something to consider
29. Make a will. I think I wrote one
when I was a kid, I had like 5 items and I gave them all to my sister cause I
thought my brothers were annoying. Will write one soon for sure.
30. Make up your own
bucket list. I will come up with one for sure

Tozer's The Pursuit of God. I don’t know if I’ll manage the

34. Visit a nursing
home and minister to patients who rarely have visitors. Something to
consider for sure
35. Drop by the
Intensive Care Unit at your local hospital and see if there are family members
of critically ill patients who need you. Something to consider

hospital visits and the like need serious thought
36. Tell everyone you
love that you love them. Try to as much as possible
