The devotion I read this morning reminded us how important it is that we, as parents reflect the love of God.
Your poem is so true. God doesn't sent us all off to be missionaries but uses most of us in whatever walk of life we choose, so it is important that we learn early that He is what makes all else worthwhile. I enjoyed this lovely poem.
