Reunions

This is the season of family reunions and celebrations. People gather together to share love, food, memories and time with one another. There will be laughter, tears, hugs and kisses all from thankful hearts of loved ones that have be reunited.

Can you imagine the celebration that took place when Jochebed was reunited with her infant son after being saved by Pharaoh’s daughter on the Nile river? Oh the tears of joy that must have been shed along with the laughter and praises to God for His miraculous intervention.

After Pharaoh’s daughter had Moses pulled from the river, Miriam courageously approached the princess and offered to help her find a Hebrew woman to nurse the baby. That woman was none other the Jochebed herself. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” Isn’t that just like our God! Not only does He make a way, His blessings overflow in the process.

During this Holiday season there will also be many who will not be able to come home for the reunions. Many who are serving our country at home and abroad. Others who for one reason or another have to spend the season away from their families.

As we sit at our tables surrounded by loved ones, let us take a moment to pray for them and thank the Lord for their sacrificial service. Let us pray for their families who are eagerly awaiting their return and praying for their health and protection daily. Let us invite them to join us and be part of our families festivities.

In loving and serving others you become part of God’s blessings that overflow into the lives of others.

Be Intentional about loving and serving others.

Praises & Prayers

Father, thank you for Your generous provision in our lives. I pray for those who are serving our country that they will have health, strength and courage to do the tasks before them. Protect them Lord and when the time comes I pray they will have a joyous reunion with their families. In Jesus’ name, amen.
