DEVO: May 27 - #3 Time

Keep these words that I am

commanding you today in your heart.

Recite them to your children and

talk about them when you are at home

and when you are away,

when you lie down and when you rise.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

 

How do you spell love?

 

I’d suggest you start spelling it this way: “T-I-M-E.”

 

Sometimes words are empty. But spouses and children understand attentiveness.

 

So … this message is simple …

 

·         Make memories (rather than focus on material things).

 

·         Take trips (I've heard that the family that camps together stays together. Why? Camping is all about surviving challenges together. The tent leaks. You forget things. It takes perseverance. In the wilderness, you have to get creative to survive.)

 

·         And most of all, eat together. (It's a day-to-day discipline of togetherness. It’s time daily to talk daily.)

 

In Christ’s Love,

a dad who’s taken his kids

to forty-nine states

… but somehow we missed North Dakota

(Ahh … but Jay’s in a

wedding there in June)
