Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
For
the past few weeks our family has done a great deal of celebrating. We have passed
a great milestone in our lives as a young family of 4. The smallest of the
Molihan clan has been potty trained. That might not seem like much to you but
it would mean that much more if you were the ones buying the diapers. But to be
honest with you, there was very little training involved. Caddie decided that
he wanted to go to the potty like Colin did and he has been going ever since. I
guess you may be wondering where this is going, well here we go.
Every
time that Caeden went to the bathroom we would all celebrate. We would holler,
yell, and jump up and down, scream with delight and of course give him some
spare change for his accomplishment. The going to the potty was not a big deal
to Caeden but the celebrating sure was and that meant the world to him.
I
believe that we in the church should do more celebrating. We should get
enthused about the accomplishment of our young converts even though they may
seem small to us, we need to remember that they are big steps for them. If we
had not celebrated with Caddie it may have discouraged him and he would have
back slid to diapers. Likewise with our fellow brothers and
sisters in Christ. We need to rejoice and be glad with one another and
celebrate the victories that we have in the Lord. If we don’t give our fellow
Saints the needed encouragement, they may lose sight of the Lord and fall back
into sin.
So
let us to remember that it is something to celebrate when a young child goes to
the potty and a young Christian takes their next step with the Lord.
In my prayers,
Pastor
Anthony
