The lead takeaway was something unexpected.
My friend recently took his son on a college visit and the son’s first thought at the end of the visit was, “Wow, what a beautiful chapel.” My friend was pleasantly surprised and glad that his hard work for his son’s education lead to this point.
We are all so blessed to be surrounded by the people who raise us- family members, friends, co-workers, peers, and anyone else who gives us encouragement and sometimes a wake-up call along the way. Jesus talks today about having someone to help us understand the Word of God and His teachings, that without understanding, the Evil one can steal it away from us. It is a special mission to make the Word of God known, let us continue to do our best in spreading it.
How are you and your family doing in hearing and understanding the Word of God? How do you work together to spread it to others?
Let us pray that we may open our hearts and lives to God’s Word!
