As I sit here and study and pray this morning, my thoughts keep going back to those two little boys in the NICU across town. As I pray for them to grow in wisdom and strength, I am reminded of a saying that a mentor of mine always says: "You can teach what you know, but you will reproduce who you are." So I offer this prayer for Matt and Silja:
Lord, help my brother and sister to be Godly examples for Erik and Paul. May they be fully present wherever they are, not being distracted by lesser things. May they follow you wholeheartedly and love well in every situation, giving Glory to you. Bless their home and give them good health, peace, patience, and joy in abundance. Above all give them wisdom, so that the boys will grow up seeing you in their parents. And may that wisdom be reproduced in them.
I can't wait till the rest of the world wakes up and I can go visit the boys!
-Dave
Proverbs 4:7 (English Standard Version)
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,
and whatever you get, get insight.
