I took this photo of my youngest granddaughter Haley a few months back while we were hanging out in a furniture store.  This shot of her holding a candlestick as she looked in a mirror reminded me of someone giving an acceptance speech at the Oscars.

While I think she is a star, I am not sure that is in her future.  I do know this, she is sweet and smart, she loves her family and doesn’t even mind sharing her candy.  And I know that the Lord has plans for her.  As I saw her looking in the mirror holding that candlestick which reminded me of an Oscar, I thought of Philippians 1:6 which says, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”  I know the Lord will keep His hand on Haley and her sister Avery.  They are being raised in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and I am confident that He will do a good work in them and through them.
