Things that last

Yesterday coming home from the grocery store, our van rolled over 100,000 miles just past a cow pasture on FM 1382 in Cedar Hill, Texas. I meant to pull over on the side of the road and take a picture of the momentous occassion, but I left the camera at home. We're so thankful that our van has lasted seven years, and yet we know that it won't last forever.
Ann's blog once again got me to thinking about things that last like our words that we invest into our children and sow into the "seed bed" of their lives. Too often my words are harsh instead of the Proverbs 16:24 words like honeycomb.
"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever" Isaiah 40:8

Ah, the wonderful vans...ours is closer now to 200,000 than 100,000. What a blessing that God is bigger than automotive issues!!!
