Title: The Joy of Parents!

-
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. Proverbs 23:24 ESV
Devotion: I try to understand these words of wisdom by Solomon and what I could make of it is that the parents of godly children have rest of mind because they are sure the children will not attract problem to the family.
  Growing up we had a "big boy" in the neighborhood, he was a great footballer by the local standard but also a thief. He lived with a grandma. Anytime the police came to the neighborhood grandma was afraid and she hid herself because she suspected the grandson was a culprit in another case of stealing. In another word Grandma had no joy, no rest of mind.
  What can we do to make sure our kids are godly - train them in the ways of God right from day one of their lives. We must have an alter in the house where we teach them the words of God and our lives must be an example to them. Remember children copy their parents' action more than words they are taught.
  Dear reader, do you study the word with your children daily, today inclusive? Share your thoughts with me. Happy Sunday. Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
