September 30, 2011

This morning, as I was washing dishes, hearing the loudness of little footsteps and clanging toys mixed with laughter and loud voices, I felt the Lord's love just pour down on me. There was no misunderstanding it was directly from Him. I had to just stop what I was doing and drink it in. He was loving on me! Me...of all people! I've felt it before, but never this strongly. I had a hard time standing with Him right there with me. Singing softly to myself gave way to tears. As I type this, I still feel Him holding me close to Him and I can't say anything but Thank You Father! It's all I can do to type with this...drying my eyes and thanking Him for all He has given to my wife and I. It's moments like this that make me so grateful to be one of His children! Being loved on by your spouse is wonderful, but when the Creator of the world, God Almighty, takes time to let you know He loves you individually...it's amazing! You never forget those moments.

Thank you God for calling me to You! Thank you Father for providing your Son as a sacrifice for my sins so that on September 30, 2011, I could be washed in a flood of Your love! Thank you for bringing my iniquity before me and for washing it clean in Your blood! Thank You for creating in me a desire to live a life pleasing to You! For working on me daily to remove a desire to chase the things in this world (admittedly, I've got a long ways to go...but I'll never stop trying!).

Thank You Father for a life richer than I ever imagined.

I love You!
