The Need for Patient and Persistent Prayer
Many of us are familiar with the parable of the Friend at Midnight found in the eleventh chapter of Luke’s Gospel. The word parable means something laid alongside another. Jesus masterfully employs parables to teach and illustrate divine truths. A parable is a simple story with two levels of meaning. The first level is concrete and easy to understand. It contains a narrative with a familiar setting and engaging storyline. The next level, which can be more difficult to grasp, contains the underlying message. Comprehension of the second level depends on the heart of its listener.
Fruit of the Spirit – Patience
One of the godly characteristics from the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) is “longsuffering” which is translated as “patience”. When we think of patience, we often associate it with self-control, or restraint while waiting. But the patience listed in the fruit of the Spirit has a different meaning. It comes from the Greek word makrothumia and means forbearance or longsuffering. It’s not the patience we need while sitting in traffic, a phone call from the doctor, or our long workday to end. It’s the ability to bear ongoing hardships in anticipation of future relief from God. It’s enduring suffering without complaining. It’s being slow to anger while waiting on God to provide comfort.
GrandCamp is No Ordinary Camp
If you’re like me, when someone mentions a camping program, you might imagine bunk beds in rustic cabins with separate shower houses, and activities designed for younger bodies—not aging ones. GrandCamp, however, is a different kind of “camp” experience designed specifically for grandparents and their grade-school age grandchildren. At GrandCamp you not only enjoy hotel-style accommodations with private baths but get to participate in fun activities designed for both grandparents and grandchildren to enjoy. And if there’s an activity you in which you do not feel comfortable participating, you can still cheer your grandchildren on enthusiastically.
