Barry and Elliott

 
This year marks two years this father and son team have come together to serve the Lord in Honduras.  They worked together as well as separately.  The respect they both showed towards one another was refreshing to witness.  They fed off of each other beautifully.  One day I was observing them working sort of together.  Elliott was hauling wheelbarrows  of rock onto the road and Barry came along to ask him to spread them more in another direction.  There was  no confrontation or back talking Elliott simply did what his father ask him to do. 
This reminded me how we are suppose to be obedient to our Heavenly Father as he gently leads and guides our daily walk with him.  We must have a close relationship with our Heavenly Father as Elliott has with his earthly father, Barry, in order to grow in our relationship with HIM.  One evening we touched on this intimate relationship with God which is so desperately wants with us and we need with HIM. 
 
He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10
