Matthew 10:29-31

"29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

Today I found a recipe box at a garage sale for 50 cents - whoot whoot, bargain!! I brought it home, painted it and put Mt 10:29-31 on it. 

I also purchased some 3x5 cards and have started placing the names of family and friends on each card.  I also have names of missionaries and people we only know through hearing of them and learning that they need prayer for various concerns/situations they are going through. 

At each meal our family will choose a few cards from the front of stack and pray for those individuals specifically then place those cards in the back. This way throughout the day and the week we can be interceding for the needs of others, while we teach the boys about prayer and caring for the concerns of others.

Mt. 10 29-31 talks about how we are all very important to the Lord.  It doesn’t matter how small or insignificant our needs seem to us, God knows, God cares, and He wants to hear from us. You are very important to us too and we want to be able to kneel before throne on your behalf. If you would like to be on a card in our prayer box, please message me and let me know. Who knows I may already have a card started for you, friend!
