Thurs Devo: Kids - Our New Ministry

With the placement of the 2 foster kids (as I talked about last week), I will be going on parental leave for the summer. Even though we’ve kept the kids several weekends over the past 6 months, it will be quite an adjustment to care for them full-time! We know it won’t always be easy, but God has made it very clear these are the children for us. They are our new daily ministry for a lifetime! Joe and I have been praying for help to faithfully point our children to God and His ways daily. Of course, it will start with our own love for and obedience to God.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9     Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Today is my last day in the office and Erin Miller has willingly agreed to write the Thursday devotionals in my absence! (Thank you, Erin!) I plan to follow along via our external blog – Workplace Devotions (http://trdailydevotional.blogspot.com/). Some of you already know this, but when we moved the devotionals to the Hub, this was a way to continue to include former co-workers, friends and family that also wanted to continue to receive the devotionals. So, if you know of others that would appreciate and be encouraged by these devotionals, then please pass the word about our external blogspot.  
May God bless each of you with a deeper understanding of Himself this summer!
Sincerely,

Alice
