One of God's best gifts is the gift of family. Psalm 127:3 reminds us that, "Children are a blessing and a gift from the LORD." While verse 5 of this inspired song declares, "How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies at the gate."
One of the greatest joys of parenting young children is that the more you give the more you receive. In God's abundant grace you always get back more than you give. As such our children teach us a lot about our relationship with our blessed Godhead!
The Word of God also celebrates the gift of 'covenant companionship.' "He who finds a wife finds a good thing (a treasure) and obtains favor from the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22).
I am blessed among men because of the great blessing God has given me in my wife and kids. Proverbs 31:10, "An excellent wife who can find? For her worth is far above jewels."
I received many special birthday greetings last week for which I am most grateful! The most special present I received was this special "book" from my eldest daughter (8).
Please indulge me as I share this special present with you (my daughter's kindness).
