Life Goes On

Sitting here having a conversation with with Joshua, my 7 year old grandson...for that I'm thankful. Hearing my daughters laughing and talking in the next room...for that I'm thankful. Seeing my wife at the airport last night as she and my son in law Marshall picked me up after midnight...for this I'm thankful. Waking without a headache this morning...for that I'm thankful. Enjoying connecting with friends on the internet...for that I'm thankful . For life, health, peace, freedom, a wonderful wife, 2 brilliant, outstanding and talented daughters, 2 godly sons in law and 7 marvelous, enthusiastic and smart grandkids; best of all, they are all saved...we'll be together for eternity...for all that I'm thankful Reading in Psalm 138 today that "the Lord will fulfill His purposes for me" . For that I'm VERY thankful. I want to live my life giving thanks to the Father for all His gifts...mostly for the gift of His Son, Jesus, my Saviour and my big br...

I just wanted to write and say "thank You". I often thank You for stuff You've done for me, for answers to prayer, etc. but I don't remember lately thanking You for what You endured on my behalf during that first passion week. Thank You for the intense prayer session You had in the garden. Thank You for putting up with a sham trial that You and everyone else knew was rigged from the start. Thank You for enduring the ridicule, slapping, punching, pulling out of Your beard, and spit in the face from the soldiers. Thank You for maintaining your dignity and refusing to react to the questions and accusations of those who were "trying" You. Thank You for enduring the scourging that would have killed lesser men. Thank You for dying a heinous death on the cross, not for anything You had done, but for my sins. Thank You for experiencing the desolation when Your Father turned His back on You, so that He would never turn His back on me. Thank You most of all that You ...
