Lead by a child...


I will never forget the day i returned home from a trip... my children, Hannah and Heather, came to pick me up from the airport with their aunt. At the time, Hannah was about 2 years old. I put my luggage in the back of the van and made my way into the vehicle. I sat down in the seat and Hannah climb into my lap. The others that came with me, on the trip, all gathered in the van to head home. I began to talk to the other ladies in the automobile when i noticed that every time i turned to talk to them Hannah took my head and turned it to her face. I thought it was interesting that my presences was not enough for her but she had to see my face. Sometime later i was thinking about this situation and it reminded me about Moses and how he wanted to see the face of God. The Bible says that one day we will see Christ face to face in all of His glory. Sometimes it is not enough to be in the presences of God... i want to see His face!

Lead by a child...


Do you need directions to tell you where you are going?

A thought...

FREEDOM IS DISCIPLINE

The spot...

On the way home from Minnesota it started to rain... I noticed spots on my windshield. It was odd though, when i looked at the spots that the surrounding object became blurred. The spot was small and insignificant but yet it grabbed my attention. It took my focus off the bigger picture and the more important things and directed my vision to it.
Then i thought ... sometimes i am like that when it comes to life. How many times have i focused my attention on small insignificant problems and took my eyes off of God? It is so easy... it is so distracting... it is so destructive.
So next time there is a spot on the glass... refocus your eyes on to the road because if you don't... you just might crash!!!!
God's word say... keep your eyes on God the author and finisher of our faith...
