This Lent we’re looking
at some of life’s most common regrets and talking about how repentance can
bring forgiveness, hope, and comfort in Christ. Sunday’s message will turn to
parenting.
I fondly remember
evening meals when I was growing up. Every meal started with grace, and then we
dug into whatever Mom had prepared. We also dug into conversation. Most of the
table talk was mundane, quickly forgotten. But you know, that’s when God did –
and still does – some of His best for a family. Those were times when we kids
learned how Christian adults deal with life, although we didn’t realize that we
were being schooled. Gathered around a meal, talking about everyday things,
there was and still is opportunity to share a good word with one another from
God.
You know our Lenten
goal is to share the good word from God, not to beat you up for failures and
sins (your regrets are already doing that). Is time with the kids, reflective
time, teaching time, a place to reboot? “They grow up so fast…”
CTRL+ALT+DEL: Come, Lord
Jesus, be our guest and let Thy gifts to us be blest. Amen.
