Final good-byes, but not really

It has been a hard day. Many tears have been shed today - tears of sadness and joy. It is amazing that you can be sad and happy at the same time.  Final goodbyes were said to son, daughter in law, and grand children as they finished packing their van to head out of state.  Their first stop, to say good bye to her folks.  Next stop, Orlando Florida to fly out to Brazil on Wednesday.  

 


The Lord has answered so many prayers over the years.   All of our children have been prayed for from the womb, that God would take them and use them for His service.  Our children were given to the Lord for His service and we are thrilled that God has answered! What more could parents ask for? One of our sons is moving on now to the place that God has called him - Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, Brazil.   


There is great gratitude in our hearts for great things that the Lord has done and for the fact that final good-byes were not really said because we will never say goodbye in glory!  Praise the Lord, if our children know Him, that is one thing we can take to heaven with us!

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson
