Ryan led worship at church yesterday, and Luke, Wes and Hannah served together with him on the team. It blesses my heart to see my kids serving the Lord with gladness.
What a wonderful feeling Mark! There is nothing that makes parents so content as to watch their kids serve their Lord. My desire is that each and every parent has this opportunity.KW
OH - I'm so glad you posted this. I want them to lead worship every week. Seriously! I was so blessed! I told your daughter, but I'm glad to have a public place to let my voice be heard.
It really is a blessing when you watch you kids move to a deeper level with the Lord. My two daughters Val and Lindsey 15, 16, are writing lesson plans and running the back room “children’s church’ during our Sunday service. They told me that they love doing it and the kids also like them. It has really made a difference for them., something way better then attending the youth group at other churches. In 6 weeks their group has grown from 1 to 6! Great is the Lord!
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.

ReplyDeleteI saw the pictures on Facebook and thought it was great that your kids were doing that. Have a great day
