4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.
So this one obviously made me think of my Mom and that I need to make sure I am doing everything I can to care for her. Its pretty easy to get busy with day to day life and raising our kids but I want to make sure she knows how much I love her and will do anything to care for her, so I need to make sure she knows this.
--side note, I hope your family is getting through this tough time and that God gives you all comfort from your pain of losing Lucy.
knut
that was a great take for you. I thought of her as I read it too.
ReplyDeleteI like the ending of the chapter;
24 The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.....
that's an interesting concept to me. I can agree that some sins are more obvious and on the surface, while others brew under the radar for years.
interesting.
