What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

For Anonymous

A while ago, I received an anonymous comment from a woman who was distraught about her firstborn son. For that woman: If you still check my blog from time to time, please go here. I just responded to your comment and write this note here so that you will not miss it. I am so sorry it has taken me this long to respond to you-it was not because it didn't matter to me. On the contrary, it mattered more than any other comments made. Your words greatly saddened me and I prayed that I would be given wisdom is responding. I fall short in so many ways and I am especially disgusted with myself when I seek to give wise counsel. My words never equal my heart and for this, I am sorry. I wish that I was a much wiser and more well-spoken individual that could do a halfway decent job of conveying a message...

If anyone else would like to contribute to this conversation, please feel free. There is much yet unsaid and I am sure many of you are more eloquent speakers than I.

I think you are a very eloquent speaker, and you did a good job in giving this mother some very good and sound advice.
I feel for this mother and her son as well. I hope and pray that he finds his way back to God and soon. I also hope that their family will continue to stand together united in Christ, and in one anothers love.

Thank you Christina. That means a lot to me. I am so glad that we have contact now. I think I have missed out all these years...
