"The anchor holds - though the ship is battered.Children are listening - even when we think they aren't. On one of the rare occasions that grandchildren Isaac, Emily and Abby have worshipped with us, I gave Isaac a pen and some note paper. During the service, George sang my favorite song, The Anchor Holds. I was not aware of what Isaac was writing, but I was focusing on the words that have meant so much to me during the storms of my life. After George had finished the song and sat down, Isaac handed me the piece of paper you see in the above photo. He was listening and through his seven-year-old eyes (pictured below), saw and drew the anchor. Today I have a copy of his drawing framed and hanging in our bedroom - a constant reminder that I've anchored in Jesus. The storms of life I'll brave . . .

I took Isaac to the store with me tonight while Andy stayed at home with the girls. Isaac and I went and ate a pizza full of wonder gluten :). While eating, I told him about your website and this entry about his picture. He said he remembered drawing the anchor picture for you and said he is ready to come see yall again.
