Truth & Love

each birthday

we add another candle to that cake

we sing that birthday tune

we celebrate

the year with all we've baked

with all the love 

and all the devotion

all the mistakes

and the regrets

how can we hope they will believe

that which we believe..

I have some thoughts on that

as I sit here

preparing my heart for the advent season

the birth of the Savior my King Jesus..

which is immediately followed 

by my two little boys birthday..

birthday season is nearly upon me

and I have some thoughts

on this parenting thing I have been doing

"Our marriages need to be full of Truth and love. 

We should be full of grace and love and forgiveness and faithfulness for one another,

 every single day.. 

for it is what Christ shows to us… 

He gives it freely, and so ought we; it is what we need to show one another..

It is in the seeing it day in day out, real, raw, honest, with out falseness, 

it is IN that reality, our childen will believe..

because they will have lived in truth…and in love"
