Some time ago I went through a very low time emotionally. One day when I came home from work and opened the mailbox at the end of our driveway as usual; inside was a note from our oldest daughter “I love you Daddy”! It brought me to tears and I have saved the letter and when I feel low I take it out and read it. May each one be blessed with a family that needs them.
Thank you for being honest today.
I am sure most parents are familiar with the roller coaster of emotions that goes with losing a child in a large crowd and then finding them. I am thankful for all of our experiences that have turned out right.
I am thankful today for the comfort and convenience that electricity brings. May the pioneers of electricity be rewarded.
I am so thankful that our Christmas holidays could be peaceful. The time we spent with family was relaxing and nearly stress-free.
I have good news for you; don’t fear all the things that could keep you out of heaven, only one thing will bar you from entering there and that is if you refuse to believe on Jesus and refuse His blood to cover your sins.
Life can be so mean; if only my children could stay small so that life would not be so harsh for them. One night as I was tucking my children in bed one of them asked me why I was crying. I told them it was complicated but that someday they would lose the innocence of childhood and be asked to be a soldier who would get wounded, weary, and fearful.
Lord today I want to thank You heartily for my wife and that I have never regretted marrying her.
Thank You Lord that we can teach our children to pray.
What do you think Jesus would have been doing a couple thousand years ago? He would have been just over a week old. Would he be smiling for his parents? Maybe a giggle or two?
Thank You Lord that when I am in mental anguish you often give me a song to sing. Have you noticed that birds usually start the day by singing?
Thank You Lord for small miracles. I lost my wallet the other day and I almost started to panic but a thought came to me to sigh a prayer. That calmed me down and soon I found my wallet.
Thank You Lord for offering hope. Thank You for enthusiasm that can spring from hope. Despair suffocates but hope is like rain and sunshine to a plant.
Thank You Lord once again for the beautiful hoar frost. When the sunlight hits those magnificent diamonds they sparkle with joy!
I am thankful today that my wife has the heart and desire to be a mother. She is so critical to our family.
