Our parents are our first teachers. My Mama Ina Mae loved that role and embraced it in every way. She led by example. I am forever grateful for her gentle ways of showing me the path that led to Jesus. She walked every day in mercy, grace, and love until her last breath. She was one of a kind.
Psalm 25 is from David's heart. It made me think of Mama. It is for Lent -Day 17.
"Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm-25:4-5
When you hope is in something solid... something that will not fail... there is a unique peace. The world can be a crazy place, but our God does not fail. His forgiveness and grace are deep and wide. His desire for us to respond in love and not just obedience is like any loving parent.
He is the best of teachers and gave us a best-selling book to read again and again when we need wisdom and guidance. He gave us His Spirit to walk with us... whatever the day brings.
Today, I am grateful for great teachers.
