the other night aj had a question for me. he said "if my coach tells me to do something but my dad has already said that it's wrong, what should i do? because i know that the Bible says to obey them that have the rule over you, but it also says to obey your father and mother". you know why i loved the question so much? because he was quoting scripture to me! he realized that it was important to obey God, and he wanted to make sure that he was doing the right thing. i am so thankful for AWANA and sunday school and family members who demonstrate the need to know God's Word! he sees his grampops preaching on sunday, he sees his dad reading his Bible every day (who saw HIS dad read his Bible every day!) and he is already reaping the benefits of hiding God's word in his heart. that is knowledge, and that is something that is lacking so much in today's kids!
remember - OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSING!!!
Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI probably say, "obedience brings blessing" over 20 times a day to my children!
Your boys are so handsome.
Say, where do you live?
