utility

"The quality or condition of being useful; usefulness"

i don't know about you

but when i was matt's age i didn't

really have a sense of what i was going to do

there was pressure to go to university

or collage

or get a job.

it is hard to know what

we are supposed to do

but the longer i live

the more simple it is to me

"do to other's as you would have them do to you"
it isn't called the Golden Rule for nothing!
:-)

whatever we do we need to have a posture of 

thinking of others more highly then ourselves.

that is my desire for all my kids

that no matter what they do

they would be useful to God

there is no higher calling 

or more satisfying way to live.

yesterday we had to say goodbye to them

did my heart almost break?

almost

but

do i believe there is One who takes care of them

better then I?

i do.

do i believe He will fulfill His purposes in their lives?

i do.
