Return to the Lord

As most of you know Suzanne and I have three children (Madison, Landon and Logan). And as most parents do we take many pictures so those images will be with us forever. When Madison and Landon were born we used a 35mm camera with film that needed to be developed. We have numerous pictures of them as babies. However about the time when Logan was born we entered the world of digital cameras. No more developing film. We just stored them right on our computer. It was wonderful…until our computer crashed.

A deep, sickening feeling settled in our stomachs as we realized we may have lost every picture we ever had of Logan. The fear was subsided after retrieving the files on the hard drive to find the pictures we thought were lost. Our precious memories were restored.

As we bring our RESTORE series to a close we focus on “Returning to the Lord”.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23:6

Our hearts and lives should always be pointing towards home with the Lord. Let’s dwell in His house. It’s where we belong. It’s natural, as natural as a family photo album sitting on the shelf in the den. My precious family photos which were lost have returned home and there they will stay…as soon as we print them out.
