Psalm 127:4-5 NASB
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Today I am going to talk with you on a personal level. There is so much going on around us that we might get distracted or even miss some of the blessings God has put in our lives. Take some time to think about your up close, personal blessings.
Ruth is our middle child. I say that not because she is anything other than extra ordinary or extraordinary. Today is her 22nd birthday. In the last year she has gone from college student to gainfully employed to married and on her way to so many, many great things ahead. We are proud of our kids, and Ruth has made us so proud. She is a special child, a bright light and loved big time by her parents. We cannot wait to see what else God does through her and Sean, her husband. Happy birthday!
We have spent some time the last month or so with each of our children. In fact we have seen God answer some big requests that we have been praying for many years. 2020 has brought lots of challenges but also brought to us two weddings, couple move for the girls and our son in to his senior year of high school. By the way, those are stressful things.
But we are blessed. Like the verse I began with says these arrows have become more than just living and breathing blessings. They are living out faith and dreams. Our prayer for these children is that they will see greater things than their parents have experienced.
We have prayed and will continue. We will expect even more from God for them. These are great days. Our children are awesome and loved.
3 John 1:4 NASB
I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
