Josiah

a Biblical thought...
These are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the LORD after the ark came to rest there. They ministered with music before the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, until Solomon built the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem. They performed their duties according to the regulations laid down for them. (1 Chronicles 6:31-32)

a Book thought...
Sometimes we believe the greatest Christian virtue is leading someone else to Christ. Scripture teaches followers of Christ that they should love their neighbours and make disciples along the way. (p89)
a Dave thought...
Yesterday we celebrated two years of life for our youngest son Josiah. He is a beautiful child and we thank God everyday for entrusting us with the privilege of bringing up another son. It was fun as a few of us gathered to eat well and open up his presents, even though the person whose life we are gathered around the table to celebrate is too young to even understand what is happening! Although Josiah may not ever be able to recall this day it reminded me of a piece of advice I heard Kevin Gerald give who tries to live life like: "Every day's a holiday, and every meal a feast." As much as I enjoy holidays and feasts I also want to make sure I do my best to invite others not so fortunate to join our family along the way.

Just a thought.

That photo is beautiful Dave, Josiah looks so happy, safe and protected by you, I pray he feels like that his entire life.
