The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Galatians 6:7-10, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

8 For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.”

Have you ever heard of the old saying, “The chickens have come

home to roost?” Well, they always do. For a long time, Bill and

Hillary Clinton engaged in activities that many thought were

immoral, if not illegal. It was talked about quite freely, but nothing

was ever done. Even after President Trump publicly said that the

Justice Department should look into the Clinton Foundation, it

appeared that nothing was going to happen. But, now it is!

What the ultimate outcome will be, the LORD only knows; but it

should give us cause to understand that no one is above the law,

and certainly no one is either hidden or above the LORD’s stated

Word!

Paul advises us “not to be led astray. Don’t ever turn your nose

up or sneer at Almighty God.” If we plant potatoes, we will not

reap corn. If we plant tomatoes, we will not reap grapes. It’s

just that simple. Whatever you do, will ultimately be done to you.

If you are friendless toward people, people will be friendless

toward you. If you love people, people will love you. Sometimes,

we do good for people and don’t see them doing good toward us.

Good may come from another direction –but it will come!

Just don’t get discouraged if what you expect and desire does not

come when or how you expect it. It will come! The principle of

sowing and reaping cannot be altered. God has ordained it.

Opportunities to do good toward others, however, have limitations.

So, we need to take advantage of the opportunities that come our

way. Nana (Rose Marie) is now home; but in the hospital, we both

had multiple opportunities to share Jesus Christ. Some brightened

at the mention of Jesus. Others politely ignored the witness we

tried to give. That’s always the way it is. But, we were never

discouraged! We discovered, too, that some true believers were

struggling with bad habits in their lives. They were thankful that

we cared enough to help and pray with them. We learned not to

become discouraged, too. The LORD’s way will always be successful.

And your life will be encouraged and enriched when you follow Him!

We love you and continue to pray for you every day,

Nana & Dado III
