family conference

Last week the family attended the Share educational conference. This is becoming a kind of tradition for us. The kids have their own classes each day while the adults have a range of workshops and seminatrs to choose from.




The theme in the kids classes was the middle ages.

This was the youth group that Tessa was part of. She says, "God is not who we think he is. We can hardly grasp who he is."







Here is Noah's class. He says, "We sang a latin song from the medieval times. I learned that the church windows told stories."




Here is Luke with David Baker. Luke said, "we didn't really talk about God. we just talked about castles and stuff. "





The week is a time for taking stock of how our family -and especially our kids- are doing. It's easy to get caught up in the routine of life and before we know it, we are living like God is not there. This too is a testimony to our kids.

Reinhild said, "we lose sight that God is real. In these times, it is true, you can't see God, but you can lose sight of him." I was challenged to realize again that one of the best ways to build the relationship with my own kids is to strengthen the one with the Lord.
