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.

as for my house

I did not come to serve the Lord until I was old.

I just heard this in a movie and it is almost true for me too.

I say ‘almost true’ because as far back as I can remember I have constantly talked with the Lord. Actually praying to the Lord and knowing He was listening.

I remember one time under the kitchen table during a storm. I couldn’t have been more than three or four. I remember another time singing my brothers to sleep with a hymn while we were a little older but still not teenagers. I remember crying my heart out when I discovered that the marriage to the father of my children was ending due to his infidelity. The Lord sent the comforter and I knew then that we would be okay. But I didn’t serve the Lord, at least not that anyone would know, not even my children. I don’t know if I will ever get over that.

It is only recently that I’ve decided to show my love for the Lord to the entire world.

My stumbling attempts at sharing my love for God are by this blog, or by my posts on Facebook, or if you wish to talk with me. I love learning and sharing as there is so much – so very much.  

My greatest wish on this earth is: ‘as for my house, we will serve the Lord’.

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. Amen.

  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian.

Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
