\u201cAnd let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.\u201d <\/em>Galatians 6:9<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Grow Weary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em>I was listening to the radio in the car trying to find some classical music to calm my puppy who had just had two shots. I came across a certain station and was immediately transported to my childhood. It was the Pacific Garden Mission program and at the moment I tuned in, it was in the middle of a reading of the Bible passage of Jesus being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. Each Bible character voice was read in an animated way with different voices. During a break in the program, I heard the telltale organ music that accompanied the well-known radio show.<\/p>\n

I remember my parents making a habit of our whole family sitting down after dinner to listen to this radio program on a regular basis when I was around the age of seven. I can assure you, it was not by choice that we kids sat there quietly listening to the program. I called my parents a few days later to share with them how I came across the program on the radio. I encouraged them (and myself) that this and many other godly habits they promoted in our home stuck with me! Although as a child I did not fully appreciate the benefits of listening to story after story of skid-row redemptions and salvations, I sure do now! They faithfully sowed many a seed in our lives, maybe wondering what good it would do.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if they grew weary, especially as time went on and not all of us walked in His ways, but they have never given up praying for us and laying the biblical and godly foundation in our lives.<\/p>\n

It ministers to me to know that even when I hear my children complain when I ask them to read their daily devotion, or grumble about going to church, etc., I\u2014and more importantly THEY\u2014will someday reap the benefits.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Mom and Dad. And to those who read this who are raising little ones\u2014keep up the good and godly work!<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us not grow weary, as Your Word instructs us. I pray for those who are in the sowing season of raising little ones. Please pour out Your blessing on them and may we remember Your promise that we will reap a harvest in Your timing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
