40 day devotion

Last night was the first night of our 40 day devotion we started here at the gibbs house. It is geared toward kids. So the first devotion was to go meet someone at school that you have never met before and learn 5 facts about them. I was really not sure how Austin and Adisyn would do, but they did suprise me. Austin came home with 6-8 facts about a boy that he had never met, and found out they have a lot in common. Ashlyn, who already knows everyone and everything, did go to a young lady that she typically dont hang around and get some facts about her. I am so proud of both of them for doing what the devotional asked. It just shows that they are willing to obey God no matter what. (Last nights verse is from 1 John 4:11 Since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.) Tonights verse is from John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Tomorrow they will have to look for someone that is being left out or alone and show love to that person by inviting them to eat lunch or play at recess etc. with them. I am excited to see how they do and learn of their day.
