Making Good Progress

Just a last week during a Prayer meeting and bible study held in our home, one older lady commented on a concern that someone wasn't diligent in their spiritual walk... She responded quickly with such a simple answer that really spoke into the depths of my heart - 'never mind, that will come..! If their name is in the Lambs Book of Life then it'll come!'

Uncomplicated faith.

Of course she is right. We need not be unduly concerned about our young one's walk if they appear to be making slow progress. Sometimes our children will take great strides in Christian grace, compassion and zeal whilst at other time they will meander through quietly finding their way amidst the darkness of peer pressure and temptation.

It is our part to seek, His to grant what we ask; ours to make a beginning, His to bring it to completion; ours to offer what we can, His to finish what we cannot.
—Jerome (c. 345–419), biblical scholar and Latin Bible translator

Just like us, our teens and children will have peaks and troughs in their walk - we must continue to encourage, build up, nurture and pray for our children so 'that in it's season we will reap a harvest.'

About us.

Hello, our names are Socks and Pablo. We're cats. We'll be 1 on 30th May 2012. Pablo likes playing with his toy mouse. I like eating. Pablo is my younger brother and I'm Socks, the older kitten. We had a sister, but we don't know where she is. We only know that she went to a new owner shortly before us. Our owner likes horses, cats and she loves reading. She is also a fan of Star-wars! We've watched it with her and we thought it was pretty good. All that fighting and all those Wookies and Clone troopers. Yoda was our favourite character, because he had ears that were a bit like cat ears! Anyway, our owner can ride a horse and she really likes a horse called Oden, which she met at the riding stables. She rode him all by herself, but she wants her own horse. Pablo likes playing with his kitty island toy from Gorpets. He got it for his birthday and he's always playing with it. It was an early birthday present and I LOVE hitting the toy mice!
