Scripture Reading — 2 Peter 3:18
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Megan, Kayla, and Kailyn Flowers grew up as the youngest children in a family of 13 siblings. They became involved in the church during their preteen years. Every day, they would walk a block to church, attending summer camp, Bible study, liturgical dance, youth programs, and Sunday worship.
Over the years, I’ve watched them grow into smart, responsible, caring young women. It hasn’t always been an easy journey. There were times when immaturity, misunderstandings, and impulsive decisions caused strain on relationships. I can relate—I made similar mistakes in my younger years. Yet, they continued to show up, listen, and grow.
Now in their twenties, they all lead their families, are active in church life, and contribute in many other ways. I am incredibly proud of the women they have become.
What touches me most is their perseverance. I’m grateful they never gave up on the church, and I’m equally grateful we never gave up on them. Their growth is a testament to the power of God’s grace and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, as we grow and mature, help us to deepen in your grace. Guide our hearts to reflect your love, patience, and wisdom. May we become more like Christ, bearing fruit for your glory. Amen.
