Blessings and maybe even more Blessings

One of the blessings Cathy and I have received on this sojourn is the opportunity to counsel/disciple young folks who are getting married and are seeking guidance for their partnership. We worked with a young couple recently who gave us hope for the generation behind us.

They are not perfect, they know it, and they are just now realizing how miraculous it is that God saved them and brought them together. I think they are beginning to see now, that He has a higher purpose for them and they are beginning to embrace the mystery of what that purpose might be. It is our privilege to walk with them on this part of their journey.

Sometimes we older folks can gain from a relationship with young ones like these. The trouble with that is that we are segregated from young folks in our culture. We live in single family homes, we put the old folks in retirement centers, and even our Sunday school classes create separation and lack of opportunities for relationships. We hope our small groups will be a mix of young and old.pan style="font-style:italic;">
