“Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.” 1 Peter 2:17 (NLT)

It was a rainy afternoon. Our youngest son was in middle school and I was walking down the school hallway following a meeting with the vice principal. As I opened my umbrella to ward off the chilly shower, I heard a woman’s voice pipe up, “Hello? Excuse me. May I ask you a question?”

I turned to see one of the lunchroom workers walking after me in the hallway.

“Are you Spencer’s mother?” she inquired.

“Yes,” I turned and answered her. “Is there something wrong?” My heart fretted. I had just left the vice principal’s office where my son sat busted for pulling a stunt in class. I was not bursting with parental pride. Now I feared he’d also misbehaved in the lunchroom. {to keep reading this rest of my Proverbs 31 devotion click here }
