If he only knew



If he only knew whose neck he wrapped his little arms around, the fancy hotels, the gourmet meals, and the luxurious lifestyle I enjoyed. There was such a vast difference between us. He had no money, no food, and no education, only the clothes on his back and a place to live; if you can call it that. But in that moment, none of it mattered. It was as if time stood still. As he clung to my back, I raced upon the grassy field, galloping like a horse. That night, he and I soared through the warm, humid air of Cambodia. Then it happened. He began to giggle. Suddenly, it was as if he and I could understand each other completely. In that moment, nothing else mattered. His lack of money, food, and shelter, were the furthest things from our minds. It was a glimpse of heaven, for both of us. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14 NIV)

Dad's Footsteps





"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us a a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" (Ephesians 5:1-2).

Do you look like your Heavenly Father? Do you walk, talk, and act like Him? As a child of God, you are called to imitate your "Father." Even when you do not look like your "Father," He will never stop loving you!

Precious Moments


This morning I was blow-drying my boy’s hair, they are only 9 and 7 years old. Man, do they grow up fast. Unfortunately, I know the day is coming when my boys will be all grown up. I won’t be able to dry their hair anymore, help get them dressed, or give them a bath. Life is so short! I want to make the most out of every opportunity with my boys while their young.

The Bible says in Ephesians 5:15-16, “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” Do you want to make the most out of every opportunity? Sometimes, I have a tendency to view the little things in life as inconveniences; such as, having to get our children ready for school, taking out the trash, fixing the car, or going to work. But what if I viewed those things from a different perspective? What if I saw those things as opportunities? Blessings?

What are some things in your life that if viewed from a different perspective, could actually be blessings? How can you make the most of every opportunity today?
