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.

answered prayers

Do you know how exciting it is the moment you realize a prayer was answered? That happened to me on my way home tonight. The biggest smile broke out across my face and my heart melted. I was so full of happiness and gratitude and I think I blushed. God listens. God answers. WOW

I asked God to strengthen Wyatt. I asked God to send His Holy Spirit to dwell within Wyatt. After all, Wyatt goes to church. He worships, he claps, he listens, he asks questions, he takes communion. He solemnly participates in the Lord's Supper. Last Sunday he stood in our prayer circle, our circle of worship, holding hands, even making room for his Grandma in that circle while I walked down the aisle. He served the lady next to him the bread, the wine. He held it for her and watched her as she took and remembered Jesus. He is a child of God. I mentioned all of this to God. I mean, I know God already knew all of this, but as I was telling Him, I realized that it was important. All of these details are important to God, and God wanted me to recount them, so that I would realize - Wyatt is a child of God.

Wyatt needed God's help. He's been struggling at school. Just from the descriptions I have been getting from Mary it seems Wyatt takes school for as long as he can and then he has to bolt. Oh boy, do I know that feeling!

God answered my prayer!

He strengthened Wyatt. Wyatt has made it through two rough days at school. He stayed the whole day - both days. God sent his Holy Spirit to Wyatt.


God answers prayers. God loves his creation. All of us.

Thank you God!
