Last night we hosted Pastor “K” and his family for dinner. They are a delightful family and they live about 45 minutes away. One day last fall, while we were staying in a house at the beach, God planted them right in front of us. We met and quickly God knit our hearts together. They have 7 boys, ages 10 and down, with the youngest two being twins. Pastor K and his wife are doing a terrific job raising these 7 future “heads of households.”
Pastor K and I have started meeting occasionally for mutual encouragement and fellowship. We are like-minded on what seems to be everything. I thank God for placing him in my life. God is good.
At one point last night, there were a ton of boys in the living room, building with Lincoln Logs – noisy with a capital N. Then, when it was time for our two families to share “devotion time” together, there 12 boys, 3 girls, and the 4 adults in the living room, and the room was very quiet. Fun times.
After we read the Bible, I read from Created for Work: Practical Insights for Young Men. Bob Schultz wrote three books with a target of building character in young men. They are delightful books for any gender and any age. Every time we read a chapter I am challenged to grow as a man. Check them out on Amazon.
