Peanut Gallery: Today I was reading about my life’s mission – “to reach one more for Jesus.” The scripture passage was the Great Commission (Matthew 28.18-20 ESV) –

Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

I also read a blog about a mother’s pride & delight in her child that has just turned 25. And then I began to think of my own kids… their birth, the joy they have brought Barbara and me, and their personal witness to Jesus Christ in their daily lives as spouses, parents and self-sufficient Christian adults.

That’s when I ran across this on Facebook – my son playing background guitar (first on left) with an “all nations” Christian group… in Oman.

I couldn’t be prouder of him.

The song: “Befriended” by Matt Redman – see words below –

“Befriended” by Matt Redman

Befriended, befriended by the King above all kings
Surrendered, surrendered to the friend above all friends

Invited, invited deep into this mystery
Delighted, delighted by the wonders I have seen

Chorus:
This will be my story
This will be my song
You’ll always be my Saviour, Jesus
You will always have my heart

Astounded, astounded that Your gospel beckoned me
Surrounded, surrounded but I’ve never been so free

Determined, determined now to live this life for You
Your so worthy my greatest gift would be the least You’re due
