Mother's Day

May 18 Devotion

Come to Me with your plans held in abeyance. Worship Me in spirit and in truth, allowing My Glory to permeate your entire being. Trust Me enough to let Me guide you through this day, accomplishing My purposes in My timing. Subordinate your myriad plans to My Master Plan. I am sovereign over every aspect of your life!

The challenge continually before you is to trust Me and search for My way through each day. Do not blindly follow your habitual route, or you will miss what I have prepared for you. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Supporting texts: John 4:24; Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)

Devotional

This is a devotional from the book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. I've found the entries quite uplifting and often true to the day I need them.

Do not resist or run from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that I allow in your life, trusting Me to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on Me.

When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for Me. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on Me and increasing intimacy between us. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on Me produces abundant living in My kingdom. Thank Me for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance.

Contributing texts: John 15:5; 2 Corinthians 1:8-9; Ephesians 5:20

The fire department agreed to spray water for the kids. Afterwards they all said they wanted to be firefighters!

Airport Field Trip

Emma's class took a field trip to the airport today. They had fun sitting in the airplanes. One of the firefighters also let them sit in the fire engine located at the airport. What fun!
