Hello everyone,

I hope you're having a great week! With the Detroit Red Wings beginning their preseason schedule with a game against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota tonight, I thought I would share these pictures of my grandson, D.C., wearing his Red Wings warm up!

Isn't he adorable and doesn't he look like a little athlete! He's really growing in height, weight and smiles! A little personality is starting to show itself!

I think it's really amazing to see how very different we all are and how God can use each of us, with our unique, God-given personalities, gifts and talents, to accomplish His will. He says in Proverbs:

Prov 22:66 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.(KJV)

The Amplified Translation says:

Prov 22:66 Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent] and when he is old he will not depart from it.

It's an awesome responsibility to be entrusted with the training of a child, but the Lord has promised to be our ever-present help and to grant us the wisdom we need when we ask Him for it!

Remember that it's okay for YOU to be different, too. In fact, God planned it that way! No person in all the world is exactly like you! Your unique personality traits and gifts and talents were given by God Himself so that you could fulfill the ministry He has called you to. There are people you will be able to reach that I will never even have an opportunity to. God's plan is for you to be the best YOU that you can be, while you're representing Him here on earth. If you don't know Him yet, please visit my church website to the right and don't waste another moment of your life without Him!

Have a wonderful rest of the week being all you CAN be, for His glory!

Love and Shalom,

Robin
