It Starts At Home

Lord, thank You for this day, and thank You for putting the words in my head, and thank You that i hit “undo” and they all went away. :)  Seriously, thank You… Thank You for what you’ve provided for me and my family.  Looking at that picture of my aunt is so sobering, and reminds me of how grateful i need to be to you.  Again, thank You for this book that i’m reading.. It seems to be exactly what i need in my life right now.  It’s teaching me to trust you with my children’s lives/salvations/eternities the same You expect me to with my own life.. And what a sweet realization that is!  But i’m also asking that You help me to be a good, likable dad, not just a hard ass.  Teach me to be gentle, and unselfish with my time with them.  Also, i ask that You would bless me with feelings of enjoyment when spending time with them.  Actually, I should be thanking You for how much i’m enjoying Jewel’s baby stage.  It’s so nice to see such a little thing grow up, and gain her little personality! Lord, thank You for everything.  Lord, i trust You with my job… i believe that You will let my light shine in my work, i and pray that You’ll help it to shine in my life as well.  Thank You, and i love You!
