My son is leaving for the Air Force
I can remember my grandmother saying how fast life goes by, its just like a blink of an eye. I didn't understand then but I sure do now. It seems like just yesterday my son was a baby and now, he's leaving in a couple of weeks to the United States Air Force . Over 1200 miles away to serve our country. I've been putting together his life story with pictures to make a farewell video. I can't help but wonder , did I do the # 1 job, did I point him to Christ? It appears to me that satan has launched a horrible attack on the young people today. Just comparing my childhood a generation ago, to what I see today, I shutter. It strikes me every time I hear slams on Christians, that we are weak people , that Christ is a crutch, we are just a bunch of fools. The Truth is of course the opposite. The strength it takes to give your life, emotions, heart, money, hands, to a God we don't see . Yes, I know , we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, but its still hard work to submit everyday. I can honestly say I've never regretted obeying God, only regrets I have is when I didn't. I see POWER , not what the world see's. I grew up with 3 sisters , no brothers. I hope I lived a life that my Son see's there is power in the christian. Young men, maybe all men, certainly don't want to be perceived weak , I hope he can persevere through the Air Force. Those who have young children, don't rush through the diaper years, trouble 2 years, enjoy , it really does fly by and in a blink, they are gone. Don't get caught up in the game of life, you know, the best baseball, soccer,etc...point him or her to Christ. My son said he remembers when his Dad stopped the nightly prayers , go ahead pray with them into the teenage years. We stopped as he got older, mainly because of the obnoxious attitude that came out of him, who knew he really missed it? My hope is that my children will be better parents! If anyone reads this , please pray for my son ! God Bless you all
