Psalm 103:8 (NIV) “The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

My husband came down with the flu today. When he told me it was the flu, and the doctor said he needed to stay away from people until Saturday, my first thought was: “So I will be taking care of these kids all by myself for four days straight?”

Wow, what compassion! Shouldn’t my first thought have been “My poor husband, how miserable he must feel!”

It’s in our nature to be selfish; it’s in God’s nature to be compassionate.

Lord, I want my love to abound towards my family, as Your love abounds towards me!
