Today, we received a lovely gift from my friend Jocelyn. T
At the end of the book, it has a pullout poster to picture what a million stars in the sky looks like. 
When we were finished with the book, I reminded her that God made this sky for her to enjoy and dream about when she wonders if there is anyone out there!? YES!
As I pondered this book and what a million could be, I realized God’s power. I think has parents, we all have moments of fear when we wonder what our child’s future could be? Then, I am reminded of this principle of God’s love is so much bigger than we could imagine.
But, I’m also reminded of the law of sowing and reaping. This law is true in the natural world, but it’s also true in the spiritual world. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:37-38) This basically is telling us that we must continue to GIVE OUT what we would want in return and in abundance. Love? Give it out in abundance. Grace? Give it out in abundance. Forgiveness? Give it out in abundance.
For Tatum, we begin every single day with a devotion and a prayer. Then we have many moments in our day when we discuss the application of the WORD. Middday, we read books and talk and sometimes pray. Before bed, we pray for other and play Bible songs. It’s one big cycle every day, and it is now a habit we have sown together. However, it falls in deaf ears if all we do is talk about it and don’t live it. This MILLION star poster is a visual reminder of the LOVE God has for us, and now WE SHOW IT BACK to HIM and to others. It’s just that simple.
