A SHOWER OF BLESSINGS

 With the birth of our first child right around the corner, our family and friends orchestrated a shower in honor of our little Sarai Ruth.  We were abundantly blessed with many wonderful gifts, you name it she got it.  All praises and glory be to God for our wonderful family who has showered us with love. 
I have to admit that the baby shower was the first time it really began hit me... I am about to be someones pops!  I am responsible for the well-being and rearing of this individual...wow!  Proverbs says to train up a child in the way that he SHOULD go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.  Sounds so simple but yet complex.  When my wife and I got married under God, we also made a vow to give our children back to the Him once we became parents.  A year and a half later here we are.  Chosen to lead and train our daughter.  Willing to lay down our lives to make her eternally glad in God and not in things of this world.  As we turn the corner and prepare to embark on this assignment, I pray the Lord will equip us with wisdom and knowledge to see His word from His perspective so that we can train the right way.
