Eternal Purposes Fulfilled
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
Years ago when still in my teens, the doctors told me it was impossible for me to have children. Obviously, I was devastated. After we married, my desire for children became somewhat of an obsession. Every month we prayed it would be THE month. This went on for several years while we continued to believe God for a child. We applied for adoption. We did everything we could think of that was within our ability to do. Then, suddenly, despite every natural fact, we had our firstborn son. Thirty-three years later, we have six grown children (three are adopted) and fourteen amazing grandchildren. What a miraculous thing God has done!

I Prayed for This Child
By Julie B Cosgrove | 1 Comment
“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him over to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:28
This was how Hannah dedicated her son Samuel to the priest Eli at the Temple. Samuel ended up being one of the greats in the Old Testament – one of the few who walked with God.

Teach Your Children Well
By Julie B Cosgrove | Comments Off
“…so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.“ Psalm 78: 6-7
Psalm 78 is a great Psalm- it is a summation of the Exodus, how God saved his people and led them through Moses out of slavery in Egypt. But it is also very truthful. It tells of the wilderness journey and how the people turned from God in spite of His miraculous works. It tells how He blessed them with the land of promise and they still turned against him. It tells of how the Lord gave them David to rule over them. Basically, it tells the story of God’s constant reaching out to His people.
