In children’s church, I’ve been teaching about the beginnings of Israel. So, we’ve been spending some time looking at Abraham and his following the Lord. Last week, I taught the little 3-5 year olds about Abraham and God’s promise. There was a verse that said that Abraham believed in the Lord–not just in His promise, but also in Him! I used that as an opportunity to give the kids the gospel. I talked to them about how God has made us a promise–through His Son Jesus Christ. We talked about sin–all the bad things we have done–and how that sin will keep us out of heaven. I showed them God’s promise through Jesus to take us to heaven. I am very thankful for one little boy who was paying very close attention and asking a few questions. No one got saved, but I am so thankful I have the chance to be one of the first people to share the good news of Christ with the little ones.
10 days and counting

Ten days out from my first wedding anniversary. Just wanted to take some time to point out one thing I love about my husband. He always strives to have a good attitude about things! I know that it sounds very simple. How hard can it be to have a good attitude about things–or at least try to the majority of the time??? But I have to admit that I struggle with choosing the right attitude more often that I should. I am so thankful that God gave me a husband who has helped me tremendously in this area. Robert has such a gentle way of turning me in the right direction, too! I want to look at the negative way too often. Robert always points out the good in the situation. He is always upbeat. Thank you Robert for being such a great spiritual leader and consistently pointing me in the right direction! I love you!
