Great night last night

Last night I drove in from Houston and went straight to my parents house for a night with the whole family.  My brother and his wife were in town from south Georgia and my sister, her husband and their kids were there.  It was the first time in a long time that all 13 of us were together.  It was a great night.  The food was great but the fellowship was incredible.  As we sat around the dinner table the discussion turned to scripture.  As a matter of fact, dad had his Bible open and we had about an hour and a half discussion on God’s Word.  It was fun and very thought provoking.  And when we were done, (well we really weren’t done, my brother had to drive back to South Georgia so we just had to stop), my dad prayed over the whole family.  After we left, I began to think about how we had just practiced God’s Word from Deuteronomy 6.  The following link is not only the verse but also the commentary that comes with it.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  http://enduringword.com/commentaries/0506.htm

As Deuteronomy 6 instructs us, we need to make sure we teach our children when they are up, down and all around.  Last night was an encouragement to see that our family was living out God’s Word and reminded me that I need to do it more often.  It was a great night.
