lessons of eternal value

Samuel, you'll learn many lessons in life from many different places.  But, the most important lessons you'll learn are those that come from God's word.

1.  God is good and trustworthy.  Trust Him and the plans He has for you.
       "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

2.  Hold loosely to the things of this world, for it is not our home.
      "But our citizenship is in heaven & we eagerly await a Savior from there" Philippians 3:20

3.  Keep your eyes open and always looking for the unseen.
     "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."  2 Corinthians 4:18

4.  Be ready for God to call you to something bigger than you are, and trust that He'll equip you for it.
      "equip you with everything good for doing His will"  Hebrews 13:21

~We can't wait to experience the joy of teaching you God's word.  It'll definitely be the most exciting, most fulfilling teaching that I've ever done :).  Love you, sweet boy.~
