The curriculum being used with our Saturday morning small group of men is dealing with our role as husband, father and grandfather. Three of the 5 men are not married but wanted to go through it in hopes they will be. Yesterday’s lesson’s focus was parenting and grandparenting. An assignment is to meet with one of your kids or grandkids and have a nurturing time with them. I’m taking that time later today with a grandson who recently graduated from barber college and is now ready to enter the workforce. Problem–He’s scared. I don’t mean nervous. I mean scared of genuine failure.

In the last couple of years having stepped into this biblical counseling role, I’ve found such great material supporting one’s belief in their identity in Christ. The most recent one I wrote about a few days ago is one I want to share with him.

This grandson and I have always been very close. Today I am praying he can see just how much Jesus wants to not just be his Savior, but now his Lord. The joyous side of living truly comes about when we can trust Jesus enough to surrender our fears to Him and follow the steps He wants so much to put before us. God is so GOOD!
