not just the crumbs

Dandelion Moms, past and present, are on my heart and in my prayers today. I pray that God will turn our weariness into joy, our confusion into power and love, and our fears into faith. Moms, we are just as special to our Lord as our kids are to us.

The mom in Matthew 15:21-28, was on a mission. She wanted her child to be whole and happy. She was all too aware that by worldly standards, she should not approach Jesus. But love for her child propelled her to His side, begging for healing. Jesus' response was shocking. He turned her away, saying that He had not been sent to minister to her kind. His "food" was not for this precious mom, at this time. Not only was this mom determined, she was quick on her feet. She reminded our Lord that even the dogs ate the crumbs from the table. Jesus rewarded her persistence with the complete healing of her daughter.

I have to tell you, I will not be satisfied with what drops from the table. I want the whole banquet of blessing. I am asking God for His very best for both of my children, my husband, my grandchild and myself. My entire family. I challenge each of you precious moms to do the same. Let's open our hands, dropping all the stuff that hinders us, like anger, fear, bitterness and negativity. Now our empty hands are ready to receive the blessings He has waiting for us.

Our Creator, who numbers the hairs of our heads, is tenderly caring for us and our kids today. May we accept, by faith, the full feast of favor at the Father's table. I love you all!!!
