Fathers Day

I would like to say the greatest Fathers Day I had witness was Dec. 30, 1983.  My husband had just witness the birth of his first born.  A son.  The glory of God was shining in his face.  Even though we were not followers at the time, nothing can be more convincing that there is a God when you see the process of a human being coming forth.  It was so touching for my husband, he jumped for joy.  He was so excited, that he almost knocked a guy out trying to exit the room to go make phone calls.  We probably weren't prepare to be parents, but one thing we knew for sure, we loved this little bundle of joy that God had given to us.  God not only chose to bless us with one child but we had four more given to us as we matured.

I would have to say being a father is probably one of my husbands greatest joys in life.  It is by no means one of the easiest jobs, but definitely rewarding.  I have seen through the years where my husband has taken on the responsibilities to being a Godly father, and a wonderful grandfather.  We pray, now that when our children or grandchildren enter our home, they will smell the sweet aroma of Jesus presence, comfort and peace. 

So I just want to take this time to thank God that my husband has yielded and surrender his life to the one and only who can help with such an important calling.

Do You Know Him?

There once was this girl who was very devestated.  Hurting deep within her soul.  Feeling lost, confused, and angry.  One day the pain was too much to bare.  She heard about this man called Jesus, who would take all her pain and sorrows.  Make her feel new inside, clean and wanted.  That he would take all her sins and washed them away.  Make her whiter than snow.  She knew that this is what she needed.  Her life was heading for destruction.

This Jesus called out to her  "Come to me and I will give your rest."  She had become so weary, so she ran to him.  She fell into his arms and wept.  Peace at last.  A love that filled her from top to bottom.  A friend that would walk with her, no matter where she went.  Someone that would never let go or ever hurt her.  They have been together now for 25 years and she is still learning who this man is.  This she knows, he is faithful, true and kind.  Loving, forgiving, caring and always available.  He would never leave her or forsake her. He values her and cherishes her and wants to love on her.  Jesus is her best friend.
