Ephesians 6:16 CEB
The following was penned by my daughter-in-love, currently earning her Master's degree in accounting. As in all things of her life, her studies are enriched by the wisdom that God has given her. She is a rich blessing to our family and to all those who know her.

“Recognize the need to be a "heat shield" that graciously and securely absorbs the fiery darts from angry and disillusioned people and protects the organization and others from undue distraction to the mission.” - Bob Dees
This aligns with not picking up or holding on to an offense. Our words speak life or death. How we respond to other people’s words or actions is a choice we make - further the fiery darts or be a heat shield. God has given us a shield made of faith to carry. May we choose each day, each moment, each email, each text, each phone call to be gracious and not be a part in the enemy’s distraction. God has called us to more.

Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for Donna - for her pursuit of You, for her life, for her wisdom, and for her love. Help us, Father, to expertly wield the weapons You have ordained for us to utilize in the battle we wage against the enemy of our souls. Help us also to deflect the fiery darts of the enemy away from others within our sphere of influence. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
