Jackson and I have been reading a little God’s Story Bible that I got from my friend, Pastor Larry, a few years back. We decided that 2012, we were gonna stick to it and get ‘er read fully this time. By God’s grace, we’re doing better this year.
Tonight, I was shocked at his answer to a simple question. I said, “Jackson, what are you learning as we are reading through Genesis together?” He said, “I’m learning that when God makes a promise, He keeps it.” Wow! I was so encouraged. His little eight year old heart is getting it. I am grateful to God for that!! I don’t share that to boast in my parenting at all. I truly am clueless at being a dad and feel like a rookie in the NFL most of the time, but tonight I was encouraged that God is moving in spite of my weaknesses in leading this little boy. Tonight, I, too, was reminded that God IS FAITHFUL TO KEEP HIS PROMISES, from the mouth of an eight year old. So cool.
Side Note: I praise God for Providence Classical Academy and its leaders’ influence in my son’s life. I am indebted to their efforts and prayers for my child.
