Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will
continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
It
was a whirlwind visit for my daughter Rebekah, her husband Jairo, and their two-year-old
son Javier (“Javi”). They arrived at my house late on Friday and spent all day
Saturday at our family reunion. The next morning they packed up to return to
Pennsylvania.
Javi
is a typical two-year-old boy. He loves climbing, jumping on beds and playing
outside. He makes toys out of sticks and feathers and is especially fond of
animals. Rarely will you spot him without an animal figure in hand.
When
he comes to visit, a trip to the pasture is always in order so he can see the
cows. But this weekend, there wasn’t a break in the schedule for tromping to
the fields.
As
Rebekah and Jairo packed suitcases in their Jeep, Javi and I followed. In a
flash, Javi took off running, arms flailing, feet flying straight for the
pasture, fenced in with electrified barbed wire.
