Brock's Birthday

Brock's Birthday "If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?" 1st Corinthians 9:11 Today is the birthday of my first grandson, Brock Elliott Ford, who will be 22 today. Brock, has been a real blessing to me and Margaret, as Pamela and Tim, his mother and father, have lived close to us ever since Brock was born. We have watched him grow, and grow and grow, until he is now a man almost 6'5'. Brock has always had such a kind, gentle and loving heart, and is such a reminder to me as to what the presence of God can do in the life of a young boy, as they are growing up. Brock has grown up in a home where God has been the center of the home, and in this environment Brock knows what the presence of God can do. His family has always attended church, and have always been actively involved in all the church activities. Brock has always been around friends, that have had the same Christian values as were practiced in his own home, and these values have now become part of his own life. This is how God intended a family to function; one centered around God, and one that practices and lives by godly values. When children are raised in this kind of environment, they know right from wrong, and when temptations begin to invade their lives, they know when to step back, and turn away from them. We are so proud of the fine young man that God has placed in our life, and as he ventures out into the world, we know that God is walking with him, and will be there to watch over him and protect him. Brock, we pray that you will always keep your eyes on Jesus, and continue to develop an even closer relationship with Him in the years ahead. We love you Brock, and now place you in God's hands where we will let Him fulfill the plans He has for you. My Daily Devotional Volume Six January 29 Robert William Brock, Jr.
