God Bless the People of the United States of America!

Today, we remember those who gave their lives for our country. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13 ESV)

First Steps – May 30, 2022

Recently I had the opportunity to address a few graduates and their families. I asked them to focus on this statement: Patterns eventually become behavior, which eventually becomes a lifestyle. What we become is the result of the patterns in our lives. Often one thinks life is determined by two or three major decisions. The idea is if one gets those decisions right, all will be well. Unfortunately, that is not the case. It is the small daily decisions that will determine a life. The daily decisions prepare a person to make the big decisions. Both are needed.

Paul encouraged Timothy by impressing upon him the importance of the small daily decisions: But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:14-15).

The word “continue” is important—keep on doing those daily things! These are words to live by so be encouraged—it is the small daily things that create a pattern, which becomes a behavior, that eventually becomes a life.

This Week’s Readings:
*Monday – Matthew 13

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6

Congratulations Graduates!

Congratulations to our Preschool Graduates and our Senior Graduates of 2022!! What an accomplishment for each of you! You are loved, adored, and watched over. So many people are praying for your future, whether it’s kindergarten, college, or your first job. Always remember this special verse from Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)
