Praise the Lord!
Blessed is a person who fears the Lord,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on the earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Psalm 112: 2

Isn’t this what all of us want? To have descendants who will be mighty on the earth and children who will be blessed. But what is the condition? That we fear God and that we are upright.
As I look back through the years, I realize that my children were always watching and listening. Every trial I encountered found them taking notes of how I was handling it. Every relationship difficulty, they wanted to know, “Is Mama going to choose to love like she makes us? Or is it just words but she doesn’t think she has to do what the Bible tells us?”
As we travel through this challenging season, it is so very important that we companion our children through it with our eyes on the Lord—fearing Him, reverencing Him, answering to Him, knowing His heart so that we seek to please Him. This is not an abstract fearing—but one in which we act out our worship by obeying Him, seeking to do what scripture tells us to do.
When a parent has heart for wisdom and truth, it will show in the moments, the layers of every day life. When we are shopping, when we are washing dishes, when we are cleaning up an unexpected mess, when when when.
Today, I had the privilege of having a chat with my sweet friend, Leah Boden. Not too long ago she was at my house sharing a “cuppa.” So in honor of that time, you see my photo. But today, we had to be quarantined. I loved this podcast and I know you will be encouraged as I was. You can find Leah on Instagram at @leahvboden for her personal page, and @modernmissmason for her professional page.
Blessings of grace during this interesting time, sweet friends.
