Oh, what a beautiful day..... and I'm not necessarily talking about the snow....I'm talking about watching my precious Stratton making a public profession of faith for Jesus. I had the highest privilege as a parent, to lead him to Jesus on Thursday, December 16th, while Brandon was at Praise Team practice. We went to talk to Bro. David Bodenheimer on Monday, December 20th and he walked the isle with his Daddy this morning. To stand for Jesus with my sweet family was the most wonderful feeling in the world. While I know I'm not much of an example, my own faith has been renewed with MY new responsibilities to continue to water the seed planted during this Christmas season. I pray for my own discipline this year - to spend time studying God's word, so I can be a light not only for my family, but also for this dark world.
This discussion was jumpstarted again in the midst of the death of John Hester - a sweet, faithful neighbor, who passed away on December 11th after a year long battle with cancer. His prayer while on this earth and certainly as he faced death, was to give the Father the glory in all situations and to encourage others to come to know Jesus. If only Mr. John were here, I think he'd be smiling ear to ear. Thank you, John, for being a good and faithful servant.
Thank you Father for Your grace and most of all Your Son~
