On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

4th of July weekend

Lindsay, Craig and Kyler are at his grandparents house for the long weekend.

Michael, Mary, Christian and Wyatt are home but today they are going to her mother's to shoot off fireworks. We did go to the drive in together on Saturday evening. We watched Cars 2. The lightening was off in the distance and the breeze was perfect. The boys and I were in the back of my truck all comfortable with blankets, pillows and bean bag chairs. Michael and Mary were in his truck with the radio turned way up so we could all hear the movie. The boys came home with me.

It was a good day yesterday for me. Took the boys home after noon sometime and spent the rest of the day sleeping and reading. Purchased the book from Ann Voskamp. I bought the electronic version while I was in Las Vegas but I really wanted to actually hold the book so I went and bought it at Borders. I also bought index page turners for my Bible.

One of the index's says "Life Verse". For that I chose Acts 17:28

in Him we live and move and have our being

Isn't that the most beautiful thought?

I was reading some of Bob Hill's sermons and he mentioned it in one of his sermons.

Perfect!

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
