Out of the Mouths of Babes

Every day my staff think more and more of others, and less and less of themselves. Each one of them has a passion for serving God that leaves no doubt in my mind that their priorities are right. Ken and I are priviledged to work alongside these men and women every day:

Melanie, Jon & Vicki, Larry, Grant, Len, George, Jack & Mesfin.

Last weekend Ken and I attended two family reunions. One was in Saskatoon and it was my grandmother's 80th surprise birthday party! Well, she knew because she had secretly read my email to Auntie Peggy that she had left open on the computer! Imagine, my grandma, reading email. Hm!

Our other reunion in Swift Current, with Ken's 13 Uncles & Aunts! That's just his dad's immediete siblings!! We had a blast and enjoyed catching up with Ken's missionary brother and family from Germany.

All this to tell you that Dad told a hilarious story abour our 4 year old nephew, Adrian.

Adrian wasn't eating his veggies, and Dad told him he better eat his vegetables so he can grow big and strong. If he doesn't, he was going to shrink!

"I don't want to shrink!" Adrian replied.

"You don't even know what shrink means."

"Yes I do!" And he began the story using his fingers to demonstrate that "Shrinking is when you get smaller and smaller and smaller until there is nothing left of you! And then you have to be born again!"

Well, isn't that the perfect anaolgy of what it takes to serve God.

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
