That's fair...

Last week, I got to take Isaiah out of town for some 1 on 1 time. With five kids it can be tough to offer individual attention to our children, however, we know it’s important, so Leigh-Ann and I do our best to make it a priority.

Family activities are a way to show love to everyone…but there is something significant about making time for our individual kids.

We ate dinner at Isaiah’s favorite…McDonalds 😊, stayed in a hotel, and then visited the Missouri State Fair.

We really didn’t know what to expect at the fair…It has been decades since I’ve been to a fair and neither Isaiah nor I had been to the Missouri State Fair.

We walked the barns, watched some pig racing (pretty cringe in his words 😊), he got spun around in the carnival, rode a bull, toured the 4-H buildings, and ended with a magic show. It felt like we walked several miles and by the end of the day, we were ready to sit down in some AC.

The fair was a good experience but not his favorite. It was pretty hot and also pretty far out of his comfort zone.

However, the time together was priceless.
Spending time eating and exploring helped us grow closer together. And even though there are many ways to show love for our children, taking time to go out of town seems to work well.

When it comes to God’s love, how does He show it?

Of course, we experience God’s love in His creation and provision. We certainly feel God’s love every time we reflect on the Gospel or read the Scriptures. However, on rare occasions in Scripture, God shows His love through personal dreams.

This Sunday, we are going to discover that God showed his love to Joseph through six dreams. This will be the 7th of 8 weeks in the series, “God: Up Close and Personal.” We will survey several verses from Genesis 37-50 as we get a broad picture of God’s sovereign love from the life of Joseph, and we will get an intimate picture of God’s personal love for Joseph through his dreams.

You might wonder if God still reveals Himself through dreams today…you have to come to find out 😊.

Have a great evening,
Troy
