"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~Charles Spurgeon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALRICK!

Today is my handsome son's birthday! I can't believe that Alrick is 7 years old! Where in the world did the time go? I can still remember the day God brought him into the world. It's one of the most joyful days of my life. Throughout these years, I've learned to really cherish my children. I'm always told to enjoy them because we only have them for a short period of time then they're off. It's absolutely true! Just yesterday I was changing Alrick's diapers, now he's a kid wanting to ride his bike around the block! I miss holding him in my arms and singing praise songs to him as he fell asleep but I look forward to the work that the Lord will do in his life.





Alrick, you have always been a joy in our lives! You bring so much laughter and love. Your father and I love you so much! Have a wonderful birthday!

Psalm 116: 1-9

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
