Remember, be the Lord's humbled when looking for a plan to live by.
The Lord's humbled . . . John A. Reeves
It's a tough world for people - even children. I talk about the tough world in a new article entitle "Plans A, B, C, or God's Plan". If you let your kids read these articles, I suggest that you read this one with them and guide them through some of these tough concepts.

Zig Ziglar, in his work, 5 Keys to Igniting Motivation and Success, talks briefly about why so few Jewish men are in prison.
He states that Jewish fathers do three things with their boys. Everyday they tell them that they love them by: 1. telling them "bless you" 2. telling them "I love you" 3. give their boys a big hug (sometimes a big kiss) The work of Jewish fathers is extremely dramatic. Zig talks about a prison minister in Florida named Billy Glass. Billy mentioned of the 40,000 men in prison only 13 were Jewish. Not 13000 or 1300 but a real 13. One of the things that Billy found out among prisoners is that they hate their fathers. The fact is, dad's you have a stong impact on the future of your children. Please take your role seriously and be humble before God. The Lord's humbled . . . John A. Reeves I love my family and I've been enjoying the summer. But yesterday was special. It was a day of worship.
We worshiped at our in-laws house and talked about various scriptural passages; i.e., John 17:20-21; Matthew 28:18-20. I like to use deductive reasoning when teaching and it is wonderful to see how young children are able to reach proper conclusions in Scripture. They realized that God has a relationship with Jesus. They realized that God and Jesus want a relationship with people. They realized that the teachings of the apostles are important. They realized that to be ONE with God and Jesus then it is important to follow the word of God; i.e., the apostle't teachings. They realized that being ONE with God is to be united with Him. Wow, if children can see that - who are humble by nature - then all people should. Sadly, not everyone is humble enough to give in to their personal selfishness and follow the teachings of Christ. Are you humble before God? The Lord's humbled . . . John A. Reeves |
