When I was ten years old, I found an arrow in the woods behind my house. It was a green target arrow with yellow fletching. The next Saturday, my dad made me a bow to go with my arrow. It had a steel string, and I had to use a cotton winter glove to pull it back. The bow was hickory and too strong for my ten-year-old arms, but I had fun with it. Pastor Jamie’s sermon last Sunday night was about encouraging our children. Psalm 127:3&4, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD … As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.” Brother Jamie said that arrows need to be balanced, sharpened, pointed in the right direction, and released at the proper time. A good reminder on how to raise children. But, this reminder is a little late for me, because my children are 52, 49, 47, and 43 years old! (I hope I got the ages right, and I hope I raised them right.) But I am writing this for you … and for my children raising their children. Good advice from Scripture … for my children and for you!
