Lessons Learned On the Farm

• Jun. 15, 2008 - Great Father's Day Encouragement

Randy Alcorn shares some great thoughts about fathering on his blog today.

I especially loved this thought -

Remember that Jesus came full of grace and truth. Most mistakes in parenting are a failure to act according to the truth, on the one hand, and in a spirit of grace, on the other. Never choose truth over grace or grace over truth. The two are both essential and should be inseparable. Children raised with truth but not grace become legalists or rebels. Children raised with grace but not truth wander aimlessly, falling off ledges because their parents failed to post signs and build guardrails and hold their hands, which could have saved them.

And then if you read down to his previous entry, you'll find some great insights into Disputable Matters.

I've really been encouraged by Randy's insights on grace, truth, and Christian liberty today. I pray you all are enjoying a wonderful Father's Day as well.

PS - I gave Tony his Father's Day gift today so now I can share the link with you all here. I had so much fun making it and it really wasn't expensive - only about $30, but capturing all those memories together was priceless.

nancy,
if you let me know what size the boys are i could get them here and mail them to you. ordering over the internet is risky with these. i just ordered an adult large and it fit a teenager. Way small!!!! I can judge better from the huge selection here at the beach and match a fit to the boys better. let me know their regular sizes and I'll make sure they are big. they are about 20 a piece. julie
ps i can email you back if you use my yahoo account julie.stew@yahoo.com
the other doesn't let me email back while traveling...
