Christmas Opportunity

It's Christmas Eve and the Fishers are trying to make the best of things here. Rachel was up all night with the pukys. I was up reading her stories in between. She thought it helped keep her mind at ease while I read Clifford. She is trying to get some rest now while the wife and son go to the Kidwells Christmas gathering. So while you are all at your Christmas Eve services tonight, pray for Rachel.

On the lighter side, last night before we went to bed, Steven and I had some great conversation. He asked why Jesus could not have died for our sins as a child. This led to a whole host of more questions. We talked about Justification and Sanctification. We talked about God's "discriminating" love for men as opposed to "peanut butter love". We talked about why Jesus proclaimed the Gospel and has chosen to use weak earthly vessels to proclaim the Gospel today.

Christmas is a great Holiday to explain the Great Truths of Scripture with your children. Don't miss the opportunity. As Jesus says, "My sheep hear my voice..." Teach children diligently and be faithful raising children in the admonition of the Lord. He will be faithful.
