Truman Days

Today is our city celebration of "Truman Days" - Lamar is the birthplace of Harry S. Truman. RPM is going to sing twice and I am looking forward to it. It is also graduation, and my nephew will be graduating today. My neice will also graduate sometime this month. How quickly time flies! I have been thinking a bit this morning about how God blesses our area because of President Truman's positive relationship with Israel. A small part of history, yet with such spiritual implications. It makes you wonder how those decisions we make everyday - big and small - will affect those who come behind us. Will they bring blessings to our descendants? We pray that they do. I pray that my children will be able to live from their heart with so much more ease because of the way we are choosing to take risks with God. That they will have the courage to fulfill their dreams because they see me finally trying to realize a few of mine (even at the ripe ol' age of 38!). When you think of things from an eternal perspective, it transforms even the smallest decision into a matter of great importance - do I snub that person on the street who made a snide remark about me, or do I model for my children the love of Christ? Together, let's make a conscious effort to make every moment count for eternity. We never know who is paying attention...
