Has everyone been enjoying watching the Olympics? We've been watching about an hour or so of it at night. Obviously, with the Olympics being in Beijing all we can think about is our little girl over there in one of China's provinces. How we think and pray for you through out each day, Kylie!!
As I think about prayer and praying God's Word over my children, I'm reminded of the sweetness of God's Word. Psalm 119:103 says, "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth." Something really sweet happened the other night that Brad and I will never forget. We try (notice I didn't say every night) to do a family devotion after dinner, which has turned out to be such cherished moments. Karsten and I usually have our morning Bible time together, but the times when his daddy is with us is even better. We were sitting in the living room and Karsten was on his daddy's lap. We had just finished our devotion and then each of us took turns praying. What Karsten said was unforgettable. He said, "thank you God for my mommy and daddy teaching me the Bible." I'm not saying that in a bragging way because I sin everyday and will never be perfect here on earth. However, that was very encouraging and reminded me that when we sow in the Spirit we'll reap in the Spirit. One of my prayers is for Karsten and Kylie to live pure and holy lives and have a passion for Jesus Christ. Even if you have infants, read the Bible to them. Or better yet if a baby is in your womb. We can keep our way pure by living according to God's Word (Psalm 119:9). We need the sweetness of God's Word so others can know Jesus.
Love & blessings~
