It’s A Milestone Week

Around here, we’re having a busy week.  Our middle son will graduate on Saturday,  Since we’ve been through this once before, we know the routine.  We’re doing the celebrations, the photos, the ceremonies and all that comes with this special time.

But we also know beyond this weekend and the celebrations, come real life.  Plans are being formed now that will determine the future of life – work, college, life skills, career etc.  Choices which can make or break the future.  This is not a time to relax and sit back, but to press on.

My son didn’t realize it as he hung his gown on the only available nail on the wall.  But that nail also held a plaque – a verse.  I pray that he will always hang things on the Word of God. 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.”  Proverbs 3: 5,6

So, now we’re ready for this week, the gown, the cords, the cap.  But with God’s Word in the heart, we can be ready for life, for right choices, godly direction and wisdom from the Heavenly Father.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
