The Journey for Jesus, A to Z

A mazing isn’t it?  How fast things change as kids grow up!

B eing a teenager is the toughest time as they transition out:

C aught between being a little kid and an adult on their own;

D emonstrating responsibility while learning to act alone.

E veryone around them has an opinion on how it “should be” done;

F inding their way is a learning process that only has begun!

G od knows where they are and what they are doing today:

H e will never leave them: Just watch and pray, and pray.

(I mmediate answers will not always happen while you wait.)

J ust be patient, parent: when they are old they will return:

K eep the faith, be vigilant, sober, and leave the bridge open.

L ove them unconditionally, just as Christ loves you, friend.   

M ove on from “empty nest syndrome” and enjoy your new life:

N ow is the time to be the best husband, to be the best wife.

O pen up your heart and home to do the work of the Lord:

P ray without ceasing, with fellowship and teach His Word.

Q uiet times with your Lord and your friends are special:

R emember it’s okay to be emotional, but also be cheerful.

S top worrying about the children and leave them on the altar:

T oday you are free from carrying their burdens and cares.

U nderstand this is a new chapter in the journey for Jesus:

V ow to serve The Lord with all of your heart:  it frees us.

W alk with the Lord: reach out to neighbors and strangers.

X ero simply means dryness and dryness has its dangers:

Y ell if you have to, but let go of the anger and bitterness;

Z ero place they have in God’s kingdom of Righteousness.
