On Palm Sunday, I had the priviledge of attending church with my heart and soul, the joys of my life – Eric and Brent. I was visiting them in Nashville and attended Crosspoint Church with them. What an honor and a blessing to attend church with my boys at the church they have chosen to worship at while living away from home.

When they were 5 and 8 or 12 and 9 or 1 and 3, it was so easy to get caught up in the everyday activities of life. You think that the empty nest is far off and you live life. But it creeps up on you and one day, they are gone.

Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart. Proverbs 22:6. This is my foundational scripture. And I must say, when I call one of them and they have just left home group or I see a tweet of a line from the pastor’s sermon, my heart fills with joy.

There truly is no greater joy than to hear my children walk in truth. Train up your babies in the way they should go and when they are old, they will NOT depart
