From the Quiver

The Bible compares children to arrows --drawn from the quiver they should be polished, sharp, straight and true. And when "released", to fly with purpose, to strike where it counts. The Lord has given us two "arrows" and today I was reminded of how one of them has grown upward! Today was Tim Jr's first day of his senior year of high school. This morning I kept my annual ritual of taking their picture before leaving for the first day of school. Here is the picture of his first day of 12th grade and, going back to the beginning, the first day of 1st grade. Yes, time, like an arrow, flies swiftly! May the Lord help him to fly with purpose and to strike where it counts --for His glory!
