Sweet Reflections

During a morning walk with my beautiful wife today, I saw a father playing catch with his son. In the near distance was a Tee Ball game being played by some very young ball players. All this said, I began some have some SWEET REFLECTIONS!

I reflected on the long walks in the town of Rhododendron when all three of the kids were young. I reflected on the bright moonlight walks on the snow covered roads pulling the kids on the sleds.

I remember the Tee Ball games with TShack as he would play center field and for the first time when a ball made it out there, he watched the ball roll by him not more than three feet away. Asking him later, "Why didn't you get the ball?" TShack answer, "Daddy, it didn't come to me!" Sweet Reflections and Memories!

I also, as we walked reflected on the the long walk that my Savior took to the most cruelest death known to man. He willing did that walk for you and me because of His eternal and perfect love. When I reflect on that massive sacrifice that Jesus Christ the Son of God made, I am humbled to realize that Jesus would have had Sweet Reflections about the relationship between Himself as the Son of God with His Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit before coming to earth! What a fellowship! With that reflection in His mind, Jesus went to His death so that we might have the same relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for eternity.

Finally, the Sweet Reflection that we celebrate every year at this time known as Easter. We see in scripture what was recorded three days after the death of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit breathed life into the Sacrificed Lamb of God and with full authority and power, Jesus Christ rose from the grave! This is the victory over sin and death. This is significant because this was the only way that the Father could extend to us the means to have fellowship with Him. What a blessing!!

Rejoice in this eternal plan and the accept the Free Gift of the Savior as we have Sweet Reflections of His love for you and I.

As for the father and son playing catch, I reminded the father to enjoy these moments as his son will grow up to fast. With that said, I am extremely proud of my son and for who he is in Jesus, our family and our military. Thank you son for the Sweet Reflections of life.
