We have started having our family devotions on Monday mornings as Rich's new schedule gives him Sunday and Monday off. We have been reading and talking about the call of the Apostles lately so Rich read about the call of John and his brother James. Mary ran and got her children's Bible and for the first time wanted to read out of it. So, she read the story of Jesus going to the Sea of Galilee and calling the disciples to come follow him. She was so happy to be able to read and contribute. We then listened to a video on You Tube of the reading of I John set with music and pictures. All our hearts were encouraged by hearing the Word. Mary said her heart was moved as she listened to it. It is so wonderful to see her young heart deeply touched by our devotional times. We closed with me singing a couple of scripture songs out of I John, Ephesians and Proverbs that I had learned when I was a young teenager. Mary did a little dance and Rich enjoyed me singing. We closed in prayer for our friends in the followship and all those who will be coming as the Lord calls them. We are so blessed by our time as a family. It is simple and not fancy, just being family and following the Spirit's lead. I can see how Mary has grown so much in these last few months of doing this together. We are so thankful for the Lord's blessing and leading in our lives.
