Let Me Introduce My Parents

My youngest son, Robert got engaged last week. Sarah, his fiance, said, "Yes" even though she had already met us- Robert's parents. It must be love!
I remember the first time Karen met my parents. I had brought her home to have dinner and to get acquainted. I was sure Karen was the one for me so I was praying that this introduction wouldn't dash my hopes for happily ever after.
Things were going rather well. We were enjoying a good meal and pleasant conversation when out of left field Mama asked me, "Norm, have you washed behind your ears?"
Why would a mother do such a thing to her son with his 'Hoped-For' sitting beside him? My Daddy's only response was an understated but astonished, "Betty". Karen's reaction? The mouthful of tea she had got spewed over Daddy as she tried not to laugh.
Thankfully, she still married me. It must have been love!
This week, I want to introduce you to our first parents: Adam and Eve. As we follow the pathway of sin they fell onto we will see "it must be love" - God's love that gives us the opportunity to change and redeem the life or lack of it we inherited from our parents. Join me each day and let me introduce my parents to you.

Grace and peace be yours,
Norman Ramsey
