Parent’s Corner for 4/22

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; 

His mercies never come to an end; 

They are new every morning;

Great is your faithfulness.”  Lamentations 3:22-23

 

As the words of this verse flowed through my mind this week, I was so encouraged!  In many ways, the months of April and May can rival December for demands on our time and attention.  Baseball games, soccer games, end of the school year activities, outdoor chores. . . I’m sure you could add many things to that list!  Every morning, God is faithful.  No matter what your day holds, God is faithful!  May the Lord allow you to feel his presence this week!  May you be encouraged and strengthened by his love for you, and for your kiddos!
