I just had a thought. Most of our work is messed up in no time, eaten up in a jiffy or forgotten soon after it is accomplished. A book, on the other hand, is something that is available for a long time, touches many people’s lives and can continue to accomplish what God has in mind even after the author is gone. Hmmmm, it is the same way with our children. The hours of work and efforts of love that we invest into the raising of our children have a continuing affect for years and generations to come. After we’re gone, those efforts are still speaking and God is still using what the Spirit did through you to accomplish His purposes.

In the words of Cody so many years ago when he was a little boy, “That’s the most amazing thing!”.

Love to you.
