Noah's Visit

By Kay Heitsch

Today Noah, our special needs grandson, is coming for a visit. Last year when he came, we took him over to Huckleberry Railroad. Noah was excited to ride the train, but most of all, he decided he would try carnival rides. This was a first!

First, he tried the Merry-Go-Round. He rode on one of the bench seats. I rode with him. This year he said he might try a horse. Next, Noah rode on an old fashion caged Ferris Wheel. Bill rode with him the first time. However, after going around 17 times, Bill felt sick. So Noah said he wanted to try riding it alone. He was a little hesitant, but he did! Now he wants to go back and try it again!

Our Bible verse today says. Be strong and courageous. Don't be fearful or discouraged because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

When we're going to try something new, we need to be strong and courageous. We don't need to be fearful or discouraged because the LORD our God is with us wherever we go.

Like Noah, we need to step out and try something new, even if we might initially be hesitant.

Please pray for Noah's visit. Thanks!
