Father's Day

A Message for Father's Day;

Though Grandpa did not write a note for Mother's Day, she is not forgotten; and is included in these thoughts.

The following thoughts follow that of the previous Blog which spoke of Generations. There is a Scripture which reads, "Hear, ye children the instruction of a father, and agttend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my father's son, tender and only bloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and siad unto me, Let thine heart retain my words; keep my commandments, and live." These are the words of "Wisdom" as recorded in Proverbs 4:1-4). They remind us of the glorious and awful responsibility that is ever before us, to teach the truth faithfully as the Lord has revealed it, and with the generations to come in mind. It is with repentant heart that the faithful father remembers his unfaithfulness; acknowledging the need to continue to rest in the faithfulness of the Lord. It is also a joy to see our children and children's children grow in the admonition of the Lord; and that it is the Spirit who has kept us in the arms of our Savior, revealing the precious love of God the Father. Therefore, with much prayer and thanksgiving we again place our children and children's children, and those who will come in future generations, before the throne of grace. May our Lord enable us as fathers and grandfathers to speak faithfully, "Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths." -Prov. 4;10-11.

With love in my heart to our children and children's children, we rejoice in these great gifts from out Father in heaven.

From Generation to Generation

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works" [Psalm 145:3-5]. From the unsearchable richness of the greatness of our Creator, of the Trinue God who is our Salvation, flows a river of of grace, wherein the Lord has revealed his majestic works. What an awesome task has been given us as we teach our children of the wonder of His creation and the joy of his saving grace. If it were not for the Comforter who is our Teacher, and the Word which He has given us, we would be unable to know the beauty of one generation passing on the Works of our God to another. This Psalm of praise which the Lord has given us to remember His works from generation to generation is again and again written upon our hearts and impressed upon minds when we look at our children and children's children. We just received a picture of our latest grandchild, Matthew Curtis LaMay [born, Feb. 10, 11 mos]. He looks at peace, a peace which will be ever his as he comes to knowledge of Christ Jesus, Lord and Savior. We are thankful for our children who are teaching their children. So we lift Matthew up in prayer, as well as his brothers, Andrew, Joshua, Titus, and his cousines Micah and Emma Ruth.

Grandpa and Grandma are one happy generation.
