Parent Shepherd


Be a shepherd to God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be....
Not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being an example to the flock
1 Peter 5:2 (in part)- 3

At 8:30, I already felt myself losing patience. No voice again, and a sore throat. Snotty noses all around, and ear infections. So I stopped. Came down stairs for my Bible, pleading with God for something to raise my spirits and attitude. To remind me again why I am a mama. I decided to finish 1 Peter, which I started devouring Saturday.
He did not fail me. He never does.
