THINK+++

Thank you lord that we have enough to share with others.

Never let a bad day make you believe you have a bad life. Live above the things you cannot change.

Remember today to confess a fault you have or a mistake you made and then cheerfully go on with life. You will be amazed how freeing confession is.

I want to become more aware of what is really worth my energy. So much energy is spent on negative thinking but it is not worth it.

 

God, I can’t say it in words can you please just listen through my heart.

 

Someday in heaven I am going to kneel before my Lord and thank Him profusely and the best way I know how for my children; thank Him that they needed me and I needed them.

I watched my wife carry something together with our 2-year-old. It was slow, inconvenient, and more work but our child wanted to help. Is your life slow enough that your children can learn with actions not just by watching or, God forbid, nagging?

Today I was thinking dark thoughts and again I had to remind myself that an entire sea cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside. No negativity allowed inside my ship.

Thank You Lord that I enjoy praying with my wife. So many times resentment in relationships hinders prayers but when we surrender our ideas to God He sends forgiveness.

I am thankful that our home is more than a shelter from the night.

For all of the problems to which you don’t understand just remember that love is the answer.

A father is someone who listens. He hears the first cries of a newborn. He listens as his toddler tries new words. He comforts by listening when his children have scary dreams. He visits with his teenagers. Our Lord is out there somewhere listening to each of His children today.

Last night I crept into each of our children’s bedrooms and listened to them sleeping peacefully. I thanked the Lord for each of my children, I thanked Him for our peaceful home, and I begged Him to lend His hand to guide us down the path of life. I wonder does our Father do the same to me? Father, help me to open my eyes to see the expanse of Your love.

Love is better than anger, Hope is better than fear, and optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic and we can change the world.

Some people search for a beautiful place and others make a place beautiful.
