“His heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36)Know that his heart is moved. He feels compassion. He knows what you do each week to bring your children to him. He knows how hard it is. It is not unnoticed. You are not alone. Know that it is worth it. You are building up the next generation. You are building the Kingdom of God. It is never wasted and it brings Jesus joy. This time will pass and your children will sit quietly next to you and you will have the moment to pray for them and we will all be better because of your work and sacrifice. For today, what you are doing is good. It is very good. Thank you.
