It was a Fabulous Family Get-together
I was going to title this “North Carolina FEW Conference” but decided “Family Get-together” was a good description of the exhilarating weekend we were blessed to be a part of last month. Families, overflowing with a desire to live for the Lord and seek Him, came together to encourage each other toward this goal! It was a great place to be!
Here are a couple things America’s founding fathers had to say about families:
“Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow.” – Elias Boudinot (Founder and President of the American Bible Society.)
“Religion in a family is at once its brightest ornament and its best security.” – Samuel Adams (Said to T. Wells, his daughter’s fiance)
More details and pictures can be found on the Neelys’, Wilkeses’, and FEW blogs!
Praise the Lord! May the prayer of our hearts regarding the FEW Conferences be Psalm 109:26-27: “Help [us], O Lord [our] God: O save [us] according to thy mercy: That they may know that this is THY hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.”
It truly is an amazing thing to be in one accord in Christ, “stand[ing] fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” and praying that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
