A Time To Remember (12-15-09)

Friday, December 18th, 2009

My Dear Children,

I think of you and pray for you every day. I hope that you all learn from me and do the same things for the family and friends around you. Prayer is very important; I don’t think we really know how many people get help because of our prayers.

The celebration of Christmas is a reminder of one of the wonderful things that God has given us. It is interesting how the world has taken hold of these Christian celebrations and used them for their own advantage.  So many of our colleges, universities, and places of learning started as Christians schools they have now became secular and speak against God. I wonder how many of these places give any acknowledgement to Jesus or give any thought to his birthday apart from it being a holiday a vacation time.

My dear children, I pray this will be time of giving and receiving for you. Even as God gave us his beloved son in our time of need, you will give of yourself to others in their time of need. You might say who around me has a need? If your eyes and ears are open you will not have any problem finding those in need.

This is also a time of receiving that wonderful gift that God gave us in Jesus Christ; our salvation and eternal life in Jesus Christ. You do not have to join a church or go through all kinds of secret agenda.  All we have to do is ask Jesus into our heart and He comes. Our life becomes more abundant than it has ever been before. One of the wonderful gifts that Jesus brings us is peace; that passes understanding that the world cannot give you.

Christmas is a time to remember that God has not forgotten us.  Dear children I pray that you will not forget Him either!

May God Bless you with a big heart filled with love,

Your loving Dad

Do What Is Right! (11-23-09)

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

My Dearly beloved children,

I want to encourage you to do what is right  It seems like in so many situations we must decide what is right and what is wrong. This involves our speech and our actions. It is so easy to get caught up with what is going on around us. We may be just standing around talking and we know that the conversation is not very good but we hang around anyway and even become involved with it.

We might be in a situation where action is involved, we don’t like it but we stay anyway. In both these situations we must decide what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes it takes courage to do what is right, to speak up and say, “This is not a good conversation!” or to say, “This is a bad thing to do!”

My Dear children not all of our friends are good for us. If you have friends that our not good for you find new ones! If their speech is bad and their actions are bad; you do not need them in your life.

May God give you the wisdom and the knowledge to know the difference between good and evil.

I have a little prayer that I pray often. Lord give me, the wisdom, knowledge and discernment that I can make the right decision not the wrong one.

I hope that when people speak of you they will be able to say, “There is a person that knows how to makes right decisions.

God bless you my dear children you are in my prayers every day,

You’re loving Dad

See God’s Glory In Them (11-09-09)

My Dear Children,

The Lord showed me something special this summer, I was taking a walk and thinking, “I really haven’t done as much for family and friend as I should have, I have kind of failed in regard to these things”.

The Lord caught me up on my thoughts and said “No! You have not failed look around you. Look at your children! Look at your grandchildren! Look at your siblings! Look at all the people you know all over the country!

I thought “What am I supposed to see?” Then I knew. I could see their faces, I could see Gods glory in them. I could see that they were all on a spiritual journey. I have been paying more attention to people’s faces and when God is at work in them it shows, there is more life in them, more light in them, something wonderful is happening to them.

It is so easy not to see people. We walk down a street past hundreds of people and never see them. I want to encourage you to look at people, see them, see their sorrow and see their joy. We have become TV people, that is not so good. We are more and more isolated every year that goes by, what a sad condition to live in.

My Dear children a wonderful thing has happened to Pauline and I. We used to know a few people, just a handful, now we have many friends everywhere. What a blessing it is to have many friends. I encourage you to make new friends every day of your life. There are people around you every day that would make a good friend, every new friend you make enriches your life and makes you bigger

The more friends we have the bigger our heart becomes! I pray that your countenance be filled with life and that you take the time to look at the people around you.

God bless you my dear Children,

Your Loving Dad
