Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-17

1 Samuel 2:2 (NKJV) 2 “No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

Growing up on a farm, we had a lot of fun. But, amongst all the fun, there were those things that came at certain times that hit hard. And we had to work through those things that are “a part of life”.

Mom and Dad never hid things from us kids. We were open with one another. If someone was in trouble or struggling through something, we all knew it. And we all felt it.

Each of us children had our things that we were going through. Some a little more than others. But, in it all, Mom and Dad were there for each one of us, no matter what it was, big or small.

There were 9 of us, and I’m sure for them it was tiring. But we never did hear them complain. To this day, the one thing that stands out to me in spite of all of our imperfections, mistakes and errors, was the love and faith they showed us through their actions. I believe that is what held us all together.

We were brought up having faith. It was important to our parents to lay down the foundation and get us off on the right track. We were not a perfect family. And I think it’s safe to say we had some wildness and craziness in our blood, for sure. But in all that, we do stick together.

And each one of us, in our own unique way, has something to offer. We have learned to respect the good in each other, and pray, not talk, about the stuff that is messed up.

There is no other foundation like the One our parents gave to us. Our Rock, our God and our Lord. He will never leave us.

We weren’t rich with material things. But we were rich in love and faith. On the Solid Rock we hold dearly. Amen.
