Dear Lord; Happy Friday Father!

To close our week’s conversations Lord, I thought I’d share a smile with You.

The school that Jonathan attends uses a project-based approach to learning, which includes a number of long-term research projects over the course of the year.  For the last project this year, they allowed the students to pick their own topic of interest to research, and along with a paper on the subject they had to present a visual to the class as well.  Jonathan chose the Newsboys as his topic, and for a visual he and I whipped up a multimedia presentation for him to show on the SmartBoard.  As this isn’t a Christian school, I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t argue with the content choice, and will be very interested to hear how it’s received by his classmates.

Either way, I thought I’d share the results of his efforts with You today:

I love seeing him excited about all aspects of worshiping You Father, and this just brought a smile to my heart.  🙂

Father God, I lift my heart in praise for Your Presence in my life each day.  You Bless us in so many ways Lord, and I pray that I’m effective in sharing that Hope and Peace with all those around me.  Amen.

    I think it is really great when kids do something for the Lord and they aren’t sure how it will be acceped, that is showing true love for the Lord. I think the project was extraorindary and a great one. Thanks so much for sharing with us and blessings to you, Phil and also Jonathan.

    I love the lyrics, I can just see you smiling Phil, as you listened.

    Our Father is moving in an aewsome way among the young generation. I love to see their uninhibited worship.

    May the Lord’s face continue to shine on Jonathan, as He gives him more opportunities to step out and witness with His music.

      Thank you Carole… I really did. We always have to turn up the volume a little when this song is played. 🙂
