I will give the credit and some of the question ideas to a women's company called "Proverbs 31 Ministry". I wanted to do something like this and next thing I know the ministry comes out with a devo like it. I tried to make the question for my job so I could ask them to myself during a hard day at work.
Love is patient. - Am I patient with the same child on their level?
Love is kind. - Am I kind when I have to wait for a child or repeat something over and over?
Love does not envy. - Do I wish that the child was "normal" or that a child would like me better then the other worker?
Love does not boast. - Do I share my thoughts and ideas in a helping way or a hey, look at me way?
Love is not proud. - Do I hesitant to ask for or admit that I need help with certain child?
Love does not dishonor others. - Do I ever put other people down at work even the children?
Love is not self-serving. - Am I working for money or to make a difference in the children's lives?
Love is not easily angered. - How much energy do I waste being mad at the children or co-workers?
Love keeps no records of wrongs. - Do I keep track of things a child does wrong throughout the day or week?
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. - Do I keep my mind focus on how God sees these children and not how humans see these children?
Love protects. - Do I protect this special child God gave me for so long even when the child is testing me?
Love hopes. - Do I hope that this child has a better life ahead of him?
Love trusts. - Do I trust that God has this child in His Hands? Can the child trust me to the point where he can tell me anything and everything?
Love perseveres. - Do I keep my mind on what a wonderful person this child could go up to be? Do I keep thinking it is a great day and time for this?
The last four love statements really get me because that is the reason I'm there for the children. I'm there to protect, hope, trust, and persevere for them and with them. That's my job. :)
