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.

family

Watching The Book Thief and at the end I realized that when Death said that Hans Hubermann's last thought was of Liesel. I realized that I am blessed with love like that. But I have so many loves that I'm not sure which name would be the last. God has been so good to me.

Growing up I never knew my own family (and yet it was family who took care of me) but I always dreamed of having my own family. God blessed me with Michael Brandon and Karen Lindsay and then God continued to rain blessings with Christian and Wyatt and Kyler and now a new little baby is on the way.

I remember the fear so clearly growing up but not as clearly as I remember the promise I could feel in my soul. The promise that everything would be okay. That, I would have a family.

Now that I'm 55 I have been blessed to realize that we are all part of a bigger family. The family of Christ and this family is eternal. This realization is so exciting.

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.
