Visited our old church to watch my nephews in their Christmas play on the birth of Jesus. It was funny and the kids did a great job.
Northside Christian Church Children’s Christmas Play
Lord, I am lost and I am alright with that
Tonight, I watched my 10 year old cheer two basketball games. While that was happening my 7 year old had soccer practice. In between the two events, I had a parent stop me and say thank you for coaching her kids and that they really love having me. As I was standing there watching the end of the second game, I started to think…How did I end up here? Did I really leave Guam and all of that to be at a Prep school. Soon after I look and notice my 7 year old now in the athletic complex talking to her sister and the other cheerleaders. She then goes down and hangs out with the 8th graders. In that moment, I realize that yes I am here and yes I get to see my girls everyday and yes I am making a difference in the lives of the next generation of Christians. I didn’t expect to be here BUT I’m glad that I am. Have a good night. God bless you all -PJSLB
You can’t deny that younger students pay attention to upperclassman. Look at this first grader and senior. The older generation leading the new generation. This little girl (my youngest) sees how the older girl is standing still and and being respectful during the national anthem and prayer at Tattnall Square Academy in Macon, Georgia and begins to follow her. People are always watching. People are always looking for role models. No matter who you are, no matter what you have gone thru, the Lord can use you to change the life of others. If this pic was not taken, this young lady would never know just how much of a influence she is already.
I’ll keep the young lady’s name anonymous until I get permission to reveal it. She has an amazing story that I pray she will allow me to share. Who knows, maybe she can write it herself here and share it with all of you.
Have a blessed weekend and may the Holy Spirit lead you to life changing moments. PJSLB
Watching the Lord use your Kids to do his will
Proud Dad status of the day:
Coming home this afternoon and driving in the rain we see our elderly neighbor raking the leaves on her front lawn. I ask the girls if we should help her and they said yes. After parking the car and leaving our stuff in the garage, we approach our neighbor and ask if she needed help. She had the biggest smile and said yes. She wants the exercise of raking but not the bending and placing in trash bags. I tell her to leave it all there and the girls and i will return and finish up. She says to the girls that this is the sweetest thing she has seen in such a long time.
An hour later (after the girls finished their homework) we walk over to “Ms. Betty’s” house to find piles of leaves. WE find a small trash bag to be filled with leaves and two chocolate bars on top of the rake. Ms. Betty left them for the girls. The girls glad started placing them in trash bags. N notices that the trash bag was getting full and suggested she go get one of our “big” trash bags. 30 mins later as we were done, K screams thank you to Ms. Betty for the chocolate. Ms. Betty opened her front door and had the biggest smile and said God Bless You to the girls. Walking back to the house, we stopped at Ms. Betty’s driveway and said a prayer of thanks to the Lord for allowing us to help. K quickly said “Im glad we got a chance to help”.
I thank you lord for allowing the girls to be part of your plan to help out someone today. Have a good night everyone. May the Lord bless us and keep us. – PJSLB
