Beautiful Kids

On Sunday mornings, Debbie and I have the opportunity and the privilege of sitting by two of the most special, cutest and adorable little girls in the entire world, the Wright twins. Debbie started holding one of the girls a few months ago to help Shannon during worship. Now both sit by Deb and I as we sing and pray and commune with them each Lord’s Day. It’s a very special time of worship when the girls are sitting by us.

I often look at them and think what great Christian young ladies they will become in the near future. Mom and Dad, I know, will raise them to love God and to love others.

When I look at all our Central kids I often think about their future. What will they become? What gifts will they be able to share as Christians?

We, as adults, need to be mentors. We need to lead by example. We need to show our young kids that God is the most important part of our lives.

When you have the opportunity to hold a child, pray for them and ask God to bless them as they journey down the road of life. There will be many obstacles and tough times where they will need mom and dad and members of the Central Family to help navigate them through some difficult situations.

I look forward to the day that I can tell Ashleigh and Alyson, “I remember when I held you on my lap in worship and I prayed that God would bless you and that you would be a great Christian young lady serving the Church and serving others like your mom and dad do.”

“Father, be with our young kids this day. Watch over them and bless them. Help each of us to touch their lives in a positive way as your Word becomes part of their life. Our prayer is that each one names you their Lord and Savior, and is baptized for the forgiveness of sins. May that be our plea and hope as a family of believers”.

In Jesus Name,
AMEN.
