Devotion

Two Christmas's ago, my brother in law's finance got me the Busy Mom's Bible. For some time it sat quietly on my nightstand, as I already had another Bible. Just a few months ago I flipped through the pages, seeing if this Bible would help me in morning devotions, now that most days, I feel like a busy mom!

I feel like life is going so fast, and some days I struggle to keep up. I want our home to be a place of rest. A home kept clean (of course, not perfect), open doors for friends and family, and most importantly, a home that serves Jesus. I want this to be something that I model for my husband and children. I have recently decided that during A's morning nap, I wasn't going to rush around and clean every moment that she was sleeping, but take time to read, reflect and pray.

This morning devotion was a constant reminder to me.

"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 upon your hearts. Impress them on your children." Deut 6:5-7

The following two questions were asked in my devotion.

1. How natural is it for you to take about God with your children? 2. Would your children say that God is the center of your life?

This definitely caused me to reflect. To take a moment of quiet and get my focus back on Jesus. And to realize that even though A is only 17 months old, Jesus can, and I hope is, speaking into her life, and that our life is a reflection of Him. I hope they can be an encouragement for you!
