My Buddy/Trainee/Son--I love you!






"Men of genius are admired; men of wealth are envied; men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted." Arthur Friedman


Reinforcements Coming:
There is a mighty army
Being trained to stand and fight,
A battlefield of soldiers

Learning what is right.
A Company of warriors
That will boldly take the word
To every tribe and nation
Till every soul has heard.
There is a mighty army,
I’ve seen them everywhere;
Most are wearing diapers
And dragging Teddy Bears.
Infants in the training,
Drilled in right and wrong,
Mom and Dad are making
Soldiers brave and strong.
There is a mighty army
Trained in righteous war,
Cheer them on to victory,
Children of the Lord!
~Rebekah (Pearl) Anast~

~I'm reminded that my work as a Mom is an eternal work. I'm training a soldier for the Lord. My son will, Lord willing, grow up to be not just my son, but my brother-in-Christ...throughout eternity we will be rejoicing. Amazing thought! Gives me strength, joy, and inspiration as I walk though my days with my son on my hip... for now. ;)

"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 9:23-24
