I had a conversation in the car yesterday with my 16 year old daughter. I was beside myself with the level of wisdom she posesses. Where did she get it? She is so independent minded! She is strong in the faith. She knows the divine Creator and is a power of example to me of what a follower of Jesus is! How did this happen? I think it is because when we first had kids we knew we could not parent properly. It was this weakness in us that drove us to our knees. It was there and continues to be there that the battle for their souls has been won.
The thing I am most thankful for truly is that my children know who they are in Gods' eyes. They belong to HIM. This brings my heart peace. All three of my children are "on the ark". When you remember the story, everyone on the ark was saved and everything outside the ark was lost....forever. It is an awesome word picture. Jesus is that ark for us now. The question is...........are you on the ark? Are you trusting in Him and Him alone? I am on the Ark and so are my wife and children. I say this not with a cocky attitude but with an attitude of gratitude. I am grateful and thankful to be called one of HIS children. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving my soul. May all who read these words take refuge in the only one who can save both the body and the soul.
