I had one of those episodes that make parenting worthwhile; my daughter came to give me a hug on my birthday on her own initiative.
Do you keep the cards from your birthday well wishers? As I get older my birthdays mean less but the fact that someone takes time to express their appreciation means more to me.
May the life I live resound and sing in deep adoration for my King.
Thank You Lord for the love that is You. It offers forgiveness to those who humbly ask.
I am thankful today for the hedge of trees around our house.
Thank You Lord for the rewards You provide when we treat our enemies with kindness.
Thank You Lord that You have promised that everyone who seeks shall find.
Thank You Lord for peace and safety; the fears and terrors of war I have not known.
Help me, Father, to point the way to pardon and freedom for those harbouring injury.
Thank You Lord that I can walk the earth you created, that I am created to be part of Your kingdom.
Lord, help me to offer hope to those in despair today.
Thank You Lord that you have provided us with food.
Thank You Lord that I love nature and your creation. Recently I have been impressed and in awe of your marvelous mountains.
Thank You Lord that my marriage is fulfilling and we are close companions. I had dreams of how a marriage should be before I got married and although it is different then I had thought I have not been disappointed.
