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 4 Hear,
O Israel: The Lord our
God, the Lord is
one. 5 Love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These
commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 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. 8 Tie
them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 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
