Heavy Loads

"For nothing will be impossible with God." Luke 1:37 (ESV)

Kyle and his pumpkin...2003

The above scripture is interesting in different versions...

One version says "Nothing is impossible for God!" (CEV or GOD's WORD translation).  And oh, how I believe that to be true.  But all the other versions leave me with the hope that with God nothing is impossible for us.

Our kids will face many challenges in life that seem way too big to handle, but with God I know that they can do it!  And over time, and with experience, I'm thinking they will not only learn that they are stronger than they think, but they will learn that they can trust God to be with them.

Some days the task will be too heavy to take on, but with God all things are possible!  (Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27, Luke 18:27)

Lord, there will be many things in Alyssa and Kyle's life that seem impossible, but your Word offers a life-changing hope.  With you everything is possible.  All those things that feel heavy, too hard, or difficult beyond our own means, are not impossible with your help.  Lord, be near Alyssa and Kyle.  Be their strength, their hope, and their reason to keep on going when it's easy to think about giving up.  You are all powerful, all knowing, and always present, and we have much to give you thanks for.  Amen.
