Well, this morning I had four emails in my inbox telling me about the birth of my newest little nephew, born last night (in my time zone, six hours ahead of the states)! He sure looks like a cutie from the pictures that I've seen of him, but pictures just don't really cut it when I know that I have to wait another four-ish months till I get to see him and hold him!
I guess the verse Matthew 19:29 has kept popping up in my mind today..."And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life." (NKJV)
No, I'm not giving up as much as the original disciples gave up for Jesus, and I'm certainly not giving up as much as many other heroes of the faith past and present have given up, but every once in a while I guess I need to be reminded that the small sacrifices that I do make for the kingdom are seen as very important in God's eyes. And that's encouraging. :)
