Mornings with Mom

"Mornings with Mom" is a Covid-19 inspired 365 Day Devotional When Coronavirus first confined us to our homes, Barbara Lassman felt the Lord asking her to write a daily thought each morning and send it to family and friends as a means of encouragement. She had no intention of doing anything but putting on paper what her heart was saying, emailing it out, and then deleting it. What started out as a God directed act of love, quickly turned into a well organized, relevant, daily message that blossomed as quickly as its distribution list. One year later, the devotional was organized into chapters that became "Mornings with Mom". Isn't God awesome!

"Mornings with Mom" is a 365 day devotional filled with scripture, stories, interpretations, and insight. Not dated, but numbered to 365 days, the unique format allows you to begin the year long devotional any time of year! It is organized into 10 topical sections that will surely resonate as you begin your mornings with God (and my mom!). It's starts with a "Moment of Grace" and continues with "The Holy Spirit and You", "The Fruit of the Spirit", "100 Attributes of God", "The Attributes of God", "The Miracles of Jesus", "They That Wait Upon the Lord", "Psalms 119", "Water from the Rock". and "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength" We pray that God puts the right message in front of you on exactly the day your need to hear it!
