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 you draw close

Yesterday was the celebration of John the Baptist birth and Trinity Anglican Parish was having a service. I wanted to go, but I was worn out, and decided that the couch needed my attention. Well, when I went to bed, and I opened the Book of Common Prayer, guess where it opened to? John the Baptist, June 24th!!!!

I'm at work already this morning, but since it is too early to begin work, I'm cruising Facebook. When I came across this picture it reminded me of my happiness:

"As you draw close to God, He will draw close to you and show you His great love and blessing . . . "

Last night He showed me His love and He allowed me to join in the celebration of St John's birth right there in my own room.
Our God is the most loving and He shows His love in so many ways each and every day.


Trinity Anglican Parish 6/23/13
Update: A friend is going through quite a bit of illness in her family. She asked for prayers and I sent this to her:

This new church Charlotte made me go to (i'm kidding. i love it there) uses the Book of Common Prayers from 1928. The prayers are wonderful. There are many for healing and for strength. I do my normal little words throughout the day but come time that I am home and near the book, my prayers become mighty and beautiful.  Okay, that's not really true and we both know it isn't the prayers but God who is mighty :) and beautiful.

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.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
  • God please guide the leaders of the world.
  • God please heal my children.
