Aww Monday, The Sweetest Gift
Christmas 2023 arrived early as our new great-grandson was born December 17th. He arrived a couple of weeks early so he is a little fellow, measuring sixteen inches long and weighing in at 4lbs, 2oz. He spent a few days in NICU to ensure everything was working properly and came home December 22. Last Thursday, Nana and I made the three hour drive to Little Rock to welcome Barrett to the family. Indeed, life is the sweetest gift and God wraps His gift in the most beautiful packages.
Nana and Papa think he is perfect.
Looking at this infant we are reminded that, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with who there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17) Thank you Lord for this perfect gift and the promise that you hold the future.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
The theme this week at 4M is the new year. Select Songs relating to the new year goodbye/hello and old/new. Well we have just traveled three hours each way, in a single day, to welcome our new great-grandson to the family. One day we hope to welcome him to God’s family. It might sound something like this.
Proverbs, the book of sound advice, tells us to train our children when they are young and teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and what is pleasing to God. Raising children is hard work but the results are more than worth the effort. The goal is to teach them to see the world through the eyes of the Creator, find joy in pleasing their heavenly Father, and rest in the peace that only God can give, regardless of the life situation we find ourselves. Have a blessed week.
