Pay no mind to that attention-hogging Pearl Harbor person, Marissa. December Seventh is your day!

Happy Birthday, Once Again!

Slinky spirals do amaze,
Standing in for passing days,
One more circle ‘round the sun,
Birthdays? Add another one!

So like Groundhog Day it seems,
Passing once again in dreams.
Getting older, taller too!
Is it still fun being you?

Some kids worry, then they fret,
We think they shouldn’t have to, yet.
But fitting in can rub in spots,
Politeness says are touch-me-nots!

Just smile as if you’re having fun,
Go through the day and get it done,
If you’re puzzled, you just might see,
Exactly how Life seems to me!

Just Kids

December 7, 2012

After high school, Darrell Blizzard left the orphanage where he grew up to join the US Army Air Corps. World War II was in full swing, and soon he faced responsibilities usually given to older and more experienced men. He told a reporter years later that a four-mule plow team was the biggest thing he’d driven before he became the pilot of a four-engine B-17. Now in his late eighties, he said, “We were all just kids flying those things.”

In the Bible, we find accounts of many people who followed God courageously when they were young. In a situation of corrupt spiritual leadership, “Samuel ministered before the Lord, even as a child” (1 Sam. 2:18). David faced the giant Goliath in spite of being told, “You are not able to go against this Philistine . . . for you are a youth” (17:33). Mary, the mother of Jesus, was most likely very young when she was told she would bear the Son of God. She responded to the angel’s announcement by saying, “Let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). Paul told the young pastor Timothy, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers” (1 Tim. 4:12).

God values each one in His family. In His strength, the young can be bold in their faith, while those who are older can encourage those who are “just kids.”

O Lord of all the upward road,
Keep strong our youth, we pray;
May age and youth together seek
To follow in Thy way. —Niedermeyer
Encouraging the young should never become old.

Read: 1 Timothy 4:9-16

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers. —1 Timothy 4:12
Bible in a Year:
1 Thessalonians 1-5

I got on the computer last night and discovered you had been in the hospital. So glad you’re getting better and will get to go home this afternoon. Please take care of yourself and get a lot of rest.

I haven’t been on the computer this week either. I just had a lot of things like aches and pains, chills, and of course the back hurts all the time. I rested as much as possible and took as many naps as I felt like doing.

Glad you’re better! And if anyone else on Amy’s has been sick, I’m wishing you well also!
