Kids and Church Choir

There is something about watching your children take steps as they grow in the Lord and serve Him. I have seen kids from Christian families that never take an interest in the Lord and it saddens me.

Recently, my daughter asked Jenny, our pianist, when she would be allowed to join the church choir. 7th grade was the answer. Then it was changed to 6th grade if their parent also sang in the choir.

My daughter was so happy! She immediately begin putting together her choir notebook, asking questions, making sure she had the right songs. I loved it.

It is important that you are instilling in your children the desire to serve God. Why? You don't reap the same season you sow. I want teen daughters that are beautiful inside with a heart for God. I want girls who desire to serve in their church with their pastor dad and pastor's wife mom. I want teen daughters that own this thing called the Christian life. If I want this result in my teen daughters, I have to invest in my 4 yr. old now.

Addie is 11 yrs. old and the 6th grade. I don't have much time left to sow before she reaches the teen group.

Parents, I encourage you to invest in those little people now. Invest a love and desire to serve God. Sunday School teacher, don't waste your influence. Make it count.

Addie is the young lady with glasses in the center. She plays the piano and also is a helper in the church nursery.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
