God walks with us. He scoops us up in His arms or simply sits with us in silent strength until we cannot avoid the awesome recognition that yes, even now, He is there.

With each new experience of letting God be in control, we gain courage and reinforcement for daring to do it again and again.

When we read of the great Biblical leaders, we see that it was not uncommon for God to ask them to wait, not just a day or two, but for years, until God was ready for them to act.

I'm not what I want to be. I'm not what I'm going to be. But, thank God, I'm not what I was!

Line by line, moment by moment, special times are etched into our memories in the permanent ink of everlasting love in our relationships.

Love is the seed of all hope. It is the enticement to trust, to risk, to try, to go on.

What will your children remember? Moments spent listening, talking, playing and sharing together may be the most important times of all.
