I find it most stimulating and encouraging that much of what my parents spoke and exemplified as I grew up are still very much a sharp and poignant recollection. The times of prayer we had as a family never leave me and the occasions (more frequent than I like to confess) where I was lovingly disciplined back into good behaviour are always there to beckon my soul when it has tendencies to stray today. I can also recall the every day time where we had to kneel before my Dad and have him lay hands on our heads as he prayed for us before going to school. What a privilege to have an earthly mother and father who actively served Jesus in this manner and thereby provided obedient and loving service to the Lord and to us as children. Proverbs 6:20-22 expresses it so profoundly: “Obey the teaching of your parents-always keep it in mind and never forget it. Their teaching will guide you when you walk, protect you when you sleep, and talk to you when you are awake.” I had that privilege and honor growing up, but so many do not especially in the world I live in. The challenge once again is for godly examples to rise up and help develop those who are not with any huge expectations, but are merely asking for a hand of friendship and compassion. Who will stand and in obedience to God, become His hands reaching out to the oppressed?
