Galatians 6:6-10

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

The only grandparent I ever knew was my paternal grandmother who died when I was twelve. Unfortunately, she never learned how to speak English, and we children never learned how to speak our parent's native tongue, so there was little real communication.

I remember as a small child, being afraid of her because in her frustration due to the language barrier, she would get angry and yell at us when we did not understand even her simple requests.

It is a sad kind of memory; how I would love to talk to her now and hear all the tales she surely had to tell, living as she did through the turbulent years of World War II. So we treasure the time we get to spend with our parents, building precious memories. It is something we try not to take for granted!

God Bless You!
