This quote in your original post is what sums it up for me: “We must refuse to allow trivial, temporal pursuits to interfere with the main thing.” There are talents I already see in my children that they might want to explore, and if we had lots of money, I would be tempted to buy them a piano and lessons, and guitar/ukulele, pentatonic flute, a big harp, and sign them up for (Christian) Karate, T-ball, and soccer, and free tumble time in a neat gym nearby, in addition to (when they are 7) the Boy Scouts–all this based on things I know they’d enjoy. Of course I know all that is too much for us. I remember the words from a 3 year old, “Mommy, come play with me”, and I’m going to enjoy that as long as I can. There are too many important things to teach while their hearts are so ready.

I don’t think any of you can understand how exciting it is for me to read your ongoing discussion about sports, etc!!! I have prayed for many years for my family to all know and love Jesus, and to feel comfortable and secure enough in His love and with each other that we can open up and really discuss important spiritual things as well as surface issues. I see it happening before my eyes. These blogs are helping us to REALLY talk about important issues and help each other become more like Christ. Keep it up, kids. And remember. God says if we really seek, we will find. If we keep grappling with an issue and asking Him for wisdom, He will show us the path He wants us to take. And remember, also, the path He has me walk won’t look exactly like the path He has for another, but in Christ we walk together, loving and encouraging each other along the way.
