Ahhh, Numbers. Just like a different book I recently read, you're finally starting to get interesting now that we're like 1/4 of the way through!
Joking aside, I did actually get something out of today's reading that made me take action. In chapter 10:29-32 we read that Moses' father-in-law was with them, and was about to leave. But Moses said "Please do not leave us" because he needed him. Unless Moses had said something, maybe he would never have known!
I'm guessing you have people in your life like this, who are important to you and maybe always seem to be there for you cheering you on from the sidelines. I have someone like that. She was my Mentor when I first started to go to Mothers Of PreSchoolers (MOPS) a few years ago. She was there when I started to learn about God and who Christ is, and she was there the day I became a believer. Even though neither one of us is in that group anymore, she always writes to me...and being the forgetful person I am, I usually don't write back. I always mean to, and I save her letters to remind me. I have had one in my kitchen drawer since after Christmas. And today I finally got up and wrote her a letter, just to catch up with things going on with my family, and to tell her I miss her and I love her.
Do you have someone important to you who needs to know how much they are valued and appreciated?
