And One More Thing . . .

Speaking of time flying ~

I thought John David looked so grown up in this picture (pre-hair cut today, mind you:). Maybe time could slow down . . . just a little?

I miss you, my friend! When I first saw that picture of John David, before I even read your remark, I thought- Oh my goodness! He looks SO big! What beautiful children! Hope you and yours are happy & well! Love to you!

Bethany Vaughn said...: Thanks so much for your sweet comments. Actually the first thing I thought when he got his hair cut was John David. They don't look exactly alike but he definitely has his John David faces, and the older Sterling gets the more I think they favor.

I'll send you a facebook message about the picture sizes as it will be quite a lot to put on here.; January 20, 2010 at 10:23 PM
David and Katie Kizziah said...: Melanie, Molly, Bethany...

A Challenge to Parents

"Brothers and sisters, if you want your children to have a reason to sing on Sunday, you have to give them a great God. If you want them to have a reason not to sin on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - you have to give them a great God . . . Because a shrunken God will have nothing to hold them when their friends are offering them the pleasures of sin for a season. We've got to give our children a great and glorious God. We've got to hold out for them the wonder of who God is.

The importance of all of this is that if our children are going to interpret life correctly, than they've got to understand who God is. You see, it's only the being and existence of God that will ever enable our children to interpret and understand life accurately.

If you are going to help your children to see those things, you've got to be a person that is dazzled by God yourself. You can't give away what you don't posses.

Oh, let me urge you as parents, don't polish the idols for your kids. . . Help your kids see the wonder of who the Lord is. "
