The Little Sparrows

Lance looked at his wife. “And today is the church’s seventh anniversary, sweetheart.”
There were happy tears in Carol’s eyes. “Yes, and where have the years gone? It seems like only yesterday we dedicated Jimmy to the Lord. And now, he’s married to Belinda, and they have four-year-old Lance and two-year-old Carol.”
Lance stepped out of the carriage. “Praise the Lord! Two marvelous grandchildren! Isn’t it wonderful?”
“It sure is. God’s merciful blessings are unending.”
Lance headed for her side of the carriage to help her out. “That they are, and He has only just begun! I know Jim will weave his testimony into the sermon this morning, as he has done on each preceding anniversary. He’ll tell again how God has blessed his ministry in spite of his speech impediment because he surrendered his stuttering, lisping tongue to Him.”
Carol’s eyes were bright. “Oh yes! And then he’ll tell his marvelous story of how within six months after starting the church, the stuttering all but disappeared.”
Lance chuckled. “Yes, and praise God, after all these years, the lisp is hardly noticeable. Is anything too hard for our wonderful Lord?”
“Absolutely not!”
He took hold of Carol’s hand to help her out. “All right, sweetheart, let’s go hear some more of that good preaching!”
