My Children, My Blessing!

Psalm 127: 3-5 says, "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." I have two wonderful children. They, like all children, have their own personalities with their own special traits. Both of my children serve God with a great passion! God has dealt wondrously with me in this way. My husband and I saw someone in the grocery store not long ago and they inquired about the kids. We told them, "Well, our daughter is heading for medical school and our son is about to graduate from RHEMA Bible Institute with a certification in Pastoral Ministry." This person stared past us and in just a few seconds he asked, "How do you raise kids like that?" My husband and I said simultaneously "PRAYER!" This week my son read the blogs I have been posting. He texted me and really offered up encouragement and told me how much he was enjoying them. He is always exhorting others! I began to think about this text he sent and what a wonderful man he has turned out to be. He is very anointed and full of the Holy Ghost and fire!! As I thought on this the Lord reminded me of a saying I have. If it was right, it was God. If it was wrong, it was all me! How true that is. We are not to be credited with the successes or failures of our children. All the good that is stored in them, and all the good they go about doing for God is by God! When our children were small we prayed and then simply obeyed. When we didn't and got off into the flesh, that is when we had to go back and let our children know we were human and had messed up and had to ask for their forgiveness! Glory to God for what our children have grown up to be and do! It wasn't because we are exceptional parents who should be leading parenting classes! That truly makes me laugh out loud when I think about it. It is the glory of God shining through them. It isn't what we have done, it is what they allow God to do in them! I can see before my very eyes the promises God gave me about my son. Already, pastors are calling wanting meetings as soon as he graduates! Everytime I see him I see more and more the abiding love of God and the power of the anointing increasing on him. He is an inspiration to me, and yes, MY BLESSING!! Have a blessed day, all day my friend!
