Children's Children

A few weeks ago we visited the Providence Church in Peoria, Illinois. It was good to visit and worship with old friends and meet new friends. We stayed with the Candler’s and it was a joy, especially with the children of Tom and Espi. The picture is precious that I had the privilege of enjoying their company: Josiah, Siera, Lena and Aleta. And then there is the little one Hannah who is a pleasure.
Therefore, I share with you Fathers these verses of Psalm 128 with the prayer that our homes, our children and children’s children will find continued blessings of joy and love: “For thou shalt eat the labor of thine hands; happy shall thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.” Feed those “olive plants” well from the wonderful Word of God, as you would feed them from the larder of thy house.
