Let us Out!

The Mesaeh house is ready for Spring!

Ask the Lord for rain in the spring, for he makes the storm clouds.

And he will send showers of rains so every field becomes a lush pasture.

--Zechariah 10:1 (NLT)

Like many of you, we have spent enough time “underground” and are now ready to come out and play. While we’ve enjoyed the winter, it’s time to admit cabin fever has set in. We spent the winter cuddling on the couch to watch Star Wars more times that we can count (that was probably more for William and I than Hannah and Elijah), playing board games (we learned William cheats at Hungry Hippos), and using our home for a full-scale Nerf battlefield. But, now the movies, hippos, and dart guns will have to yield to BBQs, spring cleaning, and backyard games with our church family.

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new...”

--Revelation 21:5 (NLT)

When most of us think of Spring, we have thoughts of newness: new flowers, new plants, new birds, new opportunities, etc. While we embrace and enjoy new things, the prayer of the Mesaeh house for Spring and beyond is that we stay the course.

We want to continue the work of raising our boys to be modern-day Knights: men who are chivalrous and loving, honest and uncompromising. With the help of our parents and our church family, we know God will bring this about. William seems convinced he has promising career opportunities as a crime-fighter in a black cape; perhaps we’re on the right track.

We also want to continue contributing to the work of our church. We love you, and we cherish the opportunities you give us to serve Christ. I am eager to see the new opportunities that will arise as the snow melts and the flowers start to bloom.

For the Kingdom,

-bill
