Lazy afternoon

Today I have had the opportunity to hang out with my Girlfriend's seven year old little brother. Justice ( cool name huh?) is one of the sweetest kids, always happy, and very greatful for the people around him. Things are rough for him because he lives part of the time in clovis and part of the time in amarillo. In clovis, with he and Colleen's mom, and here with his aunt. 

I wonder sometimes if he really gets much attention from anyone. He loves his sister and always seems so happy to be with her. I took him to my house this afternoon while Colleen is at work, so he and i are playing video games with MY brother chase. Rather they are playing, and i'm working on design work.


I realize looking at Justice and what a great kid he is that children need a father, moreover, they need a father who knows the Lord. One of the most devastating things in our culture now is the absence of fathers hearts from their children. Children want rules, they want authority, but they don't just want rules and consequences; they want relationship. Kids desire to be "like" someone else, though the person whom they emulate can change, ideally it needs to be their parents. I know some of the most amazing children who are exactly like their parents. That is why they're amazing. The Word says to raise your children in righteousness and when they are old they won't turn from those ways. 

I feel blessed to have the ability to speak into Justice's life and help him grow up to know love and it's source. If you're reading this and you have a relationship with the Lord, please pray for Justice and his family; just briefly petition the Lord for a strong move on Justice's behalf.
