Bus Stop

Coming in this morning from my second grader's bus stop, God reminded me of something I take for granted.  All of the families who are regulars at are bus stop are believers in Jesus.  It is not uncommon for us to have conversations about the goodness of God, share about what He has been teaching us in our lives, as well as pray for each other right there on that corner.

Including ours, their are a total of five families represented at the bus stop.  Our kids play together in the afternoons and see our faith lived out as we encounter life's difficulties.

During our conversations while we wait for the bus, our kids are playing, laughing, but also listening.  They hear the prayer requests, they know the struggles, they sense the problems.  Then later down the road they hear of the triumphs, see the successes, and witness the miracles.  They are getting it.

On more than one occasion I have lamented over the fact that I have not been consistent in training my children to read the Bible for themselves.  But today I am reminded that actions can speak louder than words.
