Last Sunday, our son, Wesley, had the honor of preaching at Living Springs Church on the Navajo Reservation. This is a place where he first came to when he was 10 years old. It's a place that has grown to be very dear to us and where we always feel welcome. Recently, several tragedies have occurred in the community. Wesley preached a sermon that addressed the message that life has a meaning and a purpose (in Christ Jesus) but also brought laughter and light-heartedness through a story of his own life, "Lessons on the River", to an area that desperately needed to be lifted up above despair.
As parents, it has been amazing to stand back and watch as all three of our children have begun functioning in the skills, giftings, and talents given from the Lord recently - preaching, teaching, encouragement, prayer, music, evangelism, mentoring, administrative skills, creative/media arts, baking, cooking, and more. We are so thankful for what the Lord is doing in their young adult lives!
Our time last Sunday was filled with hugs, laughter, the ability minister in prayer, and to listen to the things that concern our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
We pray Wesley's message encouraged those who were able to hear it and that they can hang onto his words. I hope to post it on YouTube soon but for now, here are the high points.
1. Listen to the Lord at all times (not just when things get rough)
2. Hold onto the Lord in times of trouble
3. Obedience is key (even in times of panic)
4.Make it count
(Much funnier in person!! As Wesley shared his story of getting tossed into the river)
Much love to you and yours
