May/June

Dear Parents,

Its hard to believe that we are closing out another month. They are flying by so fast. As school has ended this year I'm now the parent of a freshman and a senior in high school. It's hard to believe. I have been blessed with good children and I desire that they have a heart for the Lord and trust Him with every aspect of their lives.

As we come into June we will be praying for a servant heart. God lead me to several verses to address how we are to live our lives and the attitude we are to have while we serve others. I pray that we all are encouraged to be better servants as we are the examples of serving in front of our children.

I hope everyone has a great holiday tomorrow. Blessings as you continue to pray God's Word over your children.
