Reflection on Today's Scripture

I like today's Scriptural thought (see sidebar) and wanted to share with you the joy I had yesterday when a friend e-mailed me after hearing that I'd just been hired for a new job and told me - "You charged too little. You're worth far more than that." And then proceeded to tell me what he thought I was worth (what I should charge), which was far more than what my normal rates were.

How blessed I was to have the affirmation from this friend, whom I hadn't even met except on-line, that he valued my skills and my work enough to tell me to charge more.

How blessed are we all to have a Saviour and a God who affirms that we are precious to him and worth the sacrifice he paid so that we could have a relationship from him.

What kind of affirmations can we give our fellow moms, today? Our children? Our husband?
