Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
My Mom & Dad taught us about faith when we were children.
They taught us about how God will carry and deliver us. They taught us to never stop believing.
They both worked hard.
And there were seasons when things were tough.
At times we would have to carry buckets of water up from the well when our pipes in our old farmhouse froze.
But Dad and Mom raised us to be content and thankful with what we had. And we as children thought we had it all!
We had much more than money could ever buy. We had parents that taught us how to trust God. And their examples of walking it out it drove it home for us.
With 10 children, you can imagine what it took just to feed all those mouths. But God, made a way for us. We were never forsaken and left begging for bread.
Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
As children we spent a lot of time most days doing our chores, but also having time with Mom and Dad at supper every night. They were always there with us.
Parents, the “little things” matter.
Money will not keep your children safe from the evil in this world. But spending time with them and teaching them to walk with God and have faith in Him will.
It will carry them through the hardest moments they may have to face in their life.
Keep life simple and show them by example how to walk by faith.
Amen.
