With Love

The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." 

I was raised in a wonderful, Christian home where God's love was practiced and encouraged. I truly believe that I would not be who I am without that love & support from my parents. I'm so glad that we are a close family. We travel together, we laugh together, and we hurt together. 

If you are a parent or have influence with children, you know how impressionable they are. They look up to you and try to model their lives to be like you. So what are you teaching them with both your words and your actions???

My best friend and her family serve the Lord in a foreign country. Their children consider me an Aunt and I am honored to have that title. Today, in the mail I received the following letter and bracelet from their 8-year-old daughter, Danielle.

Back side of letter.



The letter reads as follows (emphasis hers):

Dear Aunt Sandy,

I love you!

I am praying for you! I made this friendship bracelet for you so you know I am praying for you!

Love, Danielle


Today, teach your children to pray, to serve, to love, to worship, and to obey. When they are old (like me), they will not depart from the truth of God's Word.

Only by His Strength,
Sandy

PS - Knee pain is almost gone. It seems like it is a side-effect of Mr. Chemo. Ugh!!! Praise the Lord that everyday is a little better.

Thanks so much for your prayers!!!!! God is good!!!!!!!
