Parents, Whirled Peas: Words from COVID 19 quarantine



Parents, your World Peace may look more like whirled peas in your home right now. Thank you for loving your children well during this time that can feel so uncertain. Bringing peace in a troubled time is a Divine gift. Jesus says in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (NIV) As you weather this storm, remember Jesus is in the boat with you, so, hang out with Him, listen to Him, read His Word, talk to Him, sing to Him, draw pictures of Him with your family, celebrate when you see Him at work in the world. Your kids will be watching you, they will take your cues and look to Jesus for peace as well. You will build strong foundations in them (and yourself) that won’t spin out of control when everything in the world seems to be whirling. Draw your chicks close under your wings and give them peace. I’m praying for you all!
