Day two of our Arkansas adventure was better than Day one. We went to the tops of the mountains surrounding Hot Springs and went up the observation tower. We took in a movie and went to an Aquarium. We ended the day watching DVDs in the big king size bed and falling asleep.
My principle observation from Day two is that Nick is a good kid. He is well mannered, never meets a stranger, up for anything and willing to pitch in. He unloaded the car when we arrived. He has complained about nothing and has been enthusiastic about everything. I know these traits will help in greatly in the years ahead. But I also know it will not be enough. Human goodness is, well, good.
Further, those who display human goodness are often taken advantage of by those not as good. I pray God’s protection over Nick.
But human goodness is not enough we need the holiness that only God can provide. Nick is well on his way on that path two. He feels free to talk about the things of God and shows a knowledge and understanding that are a credit to his Mom. I pray he will continue to develop his faith and augment his human goodness with all the spirit of God can provide.
I’m very proud of Nick.
Time to start Day three.
Be blessed,.
Old Nick
