As this Bible-learning operation unfolds, I am realizing it is already Tuesday, and unlike Molly, I have no chart for stickers and have not yet mentioned the project to my children. Hooray for GRACE, yes?
That said, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path." What better way to get a jump start for this mommy than to actually open The Word herself? (Had to find it first- took it on family camping trip thinking I might have some lovely God-time by the creek by which we pitched our tents. HA!) Because God is so good, I opened up to Deuteronomy and my eyes were guided to the story of Moses instructing God's people, "Gather the people together—men, women, children, and the foreigners living among you—so they can listen well, so they may learn to live in holy awe before God, your God, and diligently keep everything in this Revelation." Now surely it was the work of the Spirit that lead me to such a passage, but we know the Word is filled with such urgings to love God's teachings and share them with one another.
Prayer: Thank you for your Word in my life, that I can find your mighty truths turning to simple guidance that feels as if it's meant just for me. Thank you that each word whispers "I love you" to my heart. Thank you GOD for making me a mom, even as I watch Sarah precariously climb upon the counter to reach for a water bottle even after I caution her not-so-gently. Help us to learn to live in holy awe of you.
Why do I hear crying coming from the basement?!
