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.

jumble of prayer
During sleep last night I seemed to be doing a lot of praying. I'd wake up and start praying for Michael and then in what seemed to be a few minutes later I would be praying for another person at work and yet later I would be praying for Lindsay or for the grandkids or my sisters. One time I woke up and I was praying for Bobby. Bobby died when he was 18 and I was 20. Many times I woke up remembering something that I had done. Remembering someone, usually my children, that I had let down and I was asking for forgiveness. At one point I was praying for the leaders of the world and then I went into the rest of us and asked God to stop us from hurting each other. Then it came to me that if we simply followed the commandment from Christ to love one another that our life here on earth would be almost perfect. One of the times I woke up because another thing I had done wrong popped into my memory and after I asked forgiveness I thought to myself, how can a person with such good intentions fail so miserably, continually?

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 please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 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. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
