Day 41
LOVING OUR IN-LAWS
The 41st Day of Love
Memory Verse— Deuteronomy 30:16. I command you this day to love the Lord, your God.
The Prayer— Our Father, teach us that Christian love is the finest foundation of friendship.
The Affirmation— Today I will be a friend in Christ’s spirit.
The Scripture Lesson— Ruth 1:16-19
The Meditation
The lesson of the book of Ruth might be: how
to turn a mother-in-law into a “mother-in-love.”
A loving mother-in-law has the grace to know how:
- To release her child when he is gone to be a
companion to another.
- To let her children and grandchildren have
the privilege of making their own mistakes.
- To make her heart a cemetery for burying
unkind gossip.
- To practice healing love when bitter differences
arise.
- To share love in every direction and relationship.
