Calling on people who have "separated themselves from the peoples of the land to the Law of God"! All you who have "knowledge and understanding"! Let's commit to "walk in God's law and observe to do all the commandments and not neglect the house of our God." (Nehemiah 10:28-39)
In Chapter 12 we find a grand celebration. "At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgiving and with singing, with cymbals, harps, and lyres...and they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem of heard far away." (Nehemiah 12:27, 43) People were also appointed jobs and others rejoiced over those who ministered. As they worked there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Our wall has not yet been completed, but we begin a new year. We can rejoice over the progress made so far. We are privileged to be at home teaching our children. We are thankful for husbands who provide for us so we can do this. Each person in the family does his or her part and is useful to all. I thank God for my girls and for Fred and this great opportunity. Let our joy be heard far away as we head into a new season!
About Me
- Deb
- I am wife to Fred, mom to six--four grown sons and two daughters ages 11 and 13. I also have two step-children and five grandchildren. My boys graduated from the public school system, but our girls are homeschooled. I pray my children will be living stones, built upon the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, equipped for every good work that God calls them to do. I write to encourage other homeschooling moms and share lessons we've learned along the way. I welcome your comments, questions, and good advice.
