Dear Younger Me,
Keep sitting at the table. I know there’s no other choice, since you aren’t allowed to leave the table until after the devotion is done, and the dishes are all cleared and washed, even though you’d rather run off and play. You don’t realize it now, but some day you will appreciate those moments where you had family devotions and prayed together. You’ll be thankful for Grandpa grabbing the devotional and Bible at the end of lunch and his consistent prayers. You’ll be thankful for Mom opening up the Bible after dinner to read a Psalm and ask questions. You’ll appreciate the example your family set for you and their heart to lead you in Jesus.
I hope that their example will inspire you, that someday you will help similarly lead your family with your husband, that it’s not a matter of checking off the boxes to be a good leader in God’s eyes, but it’s from your heart and a desire to walk with your family before God. Thank God for the example you are growing up with and for the spiritual leaders of your family, because this is such a blessing.
Love,
Megan
