Hitting the Mark

my favorite son-in-law and eight-year-old grandboy #2

"But [My children] did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward." (Jeremiah 7:24)

It's both heartwarming and heart-wrenching watching the kids we trained up through prayers, sweat, and tears now laboring to train their own to hit the mark of the way they should go - an impossible task for mankind in solo, but altogether doable in duet with the all time expert parenting Consultant of consultants with more experience transforming stubborn, rebellious children than a library has books. His name? Father God.
