Cherish the Children Time Is Now

As summer starts, I was thinking of the words I put to poetry last year and thought, with summer coming on I want to remind us all to spend the time with our children before the children grow old. (Wish I could do more) We cannot replace that time and so, we lose the time we do not invest with our little ones. The song writer said it well, "Early let us seek Thy favor ... Early let us do Thy will. "Early in life" seems to be the key. Love them and bring them to Jesus. This picture of andrew was one of many I could use to help the words come to life. It is wonderful to see the love that Andrew and Sarah pour into Alec.

Andrea with Alec at the Lighthouse

Andrea was able to visit with Andrew and Sarah this spring in Maine. Of course, Alec, their son, was a big plus for the visit. We are glad to share our family with the world, but looking at the Lighthouse reminds us we are to be bringing the gospel to the lives of others. We are to be lights that show forth the Father's work of Grace in our lives because of His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the world. So we also share Jesus with the world. "And I thank God for the Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him... Jesus is the Lighthouse ... and if it wasn't for the Lighthouse ... My ship would sail no more." (Ronny Hinson) John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
