An Invitation

God speaks. He speaks into our hearts and minds through people, nature, the church. He also speaks to us through His Word. His Word is His love letter to us, His way of helping us remember who we are and assure us of His promises. His Word is the road map to help us live the passionate adventurous lives He always meant for us.

These blog entries are teasers. Insights and revelations to encourage you to read the bible, the greatest piece of literature that was written especially for you, God's child.

The Blessing of Children


Ruth 4:16 Then Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap and cared for him.

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him. (Psalm 127:3) It's challenging to view children as God's gifts when you feed in the middle of the night, change diapers or ride a tantrum's wave. But why not focus on the positives? Your child's smile. The way he calls your name and holds your hand. The way she pulls on your sleeve when she can't figure out her homework.

Has God entrusted you with His children in your home? Or do you work with children as an educator, psychologist or doctor? It may sometimes feel like all we do is give, teach and help children. Did you ever stop and think about how they give, teach and help you?

Today, thank the Lord for endowing you with children. Value them and take your stewardship to heart.
