A 5 Mile List

After a refreshing past week, this week will be spent primarily organizing and repainting and repairing at the studio in order to get ready for our awesome summer here at Reverence Studios!  What fun it has been for me to take another look at all the pictures, cards, paintings, and other thoughtful treasures that the students have given me throughout the year!  You all are so creative!  I was also amazed at the number of pictures that included a black cat to represent my beloved kitten Prince Caspian—wow!  They made me smile when I got them and they still do.

The cards with Scripture also mean quite a bit to me.  The Lord used them and you to minister to me this past year.  He is so good!  One in particular stood out to me as I was rereading them today.  It said, “Serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you” (from 1 Samuel 12:24).  Inside there was a note from my sweet cousins which I will always treasure.

1 Samuel 12:24 is an excerpt from Samuel’s farewell speech to God’s people who he had ministered to and judged faithfully for a lifetime.  Samuel, one of the Bible’s many ‘miracle babies,’ knew all about serving the Lord faithfully.  He had been called to it from the very beginning of his life!  It is not an easy task to do what God has called us to do, but it is the greatest and most worthwhile.   Considering the great things that the Lord has done for us may call us to write a list on a 5 mile long sheet of paper in 8 pt font!  However, no worries…the Lord wouldn’t need glasses to read it, although the rest of us would.
