Steadfast Perseverance

Do you have steadfast perseverance like a child?

Eli is a beautiful, intelligent, forthright 4 year old. Below is a scene from this Morning between her and her Papa.

Papa: Eli don't smile, because it will make me happy

Eli: No smile

Brian: After a few seconds go by and noticing she wasn't budging says "Go ahead Eli give him a smile"

Eli:No Smile

Papa: With another attempt to make her smile he sings..."Nobody loves, everyone hates me, I'm going to eat some worms. Big Fat Juicy ones, tiny little skinny ones, I'm going to eat some worms

Elli: Says to her Papa with a straight face..."Papa eat the big juicy ones first, there are some in the back yard."

                               Fast forward to 2:17 and even Timon and Pumba agree with Eli!

   We have to laugh and admire Eli's perseverance in refusing to give her Papa a smile. As we gathered in the office, we realized we could apply Eli's perseverance to our own lives. When trials and tribulations occur in our lives, do we have steadfast perseverance in prayer and keeping our eyes on Christ? Recently there have been many distractions happening around Lumen's office. The Holy Spirit showed us these trials are distractions and to continue to persevere in prayer. With this revelation, please join us as we pray for the grace and intercessions from the Saints to help us focus and continue to finish Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. We have 35 seconds left! Have a blessed and wonderful weekend! 

Happy Labor Day ~Lumen Crew
