My mom once gave my Great-Grandmother a journal and asked her to fill it with advice, guidance, prayers, scripture, and memories. She wanted it to be personalized, something she could share with my sister and I and treasure for years to come. My Great-Grandmother was an inspirational woman. She lived a hard life, but she never ceased to give God praise. Her wisdom deserves to be shared, not just within our family, but with anyone who will listen.

April 23rd 2006

My Heavenly Father,
     Thank you for this beautiful day. Forgive me of all my sins and help me be what you would have me be. I need you every hour of the day and night.
     Thank you for my family. Would you keep them close to you and meet their needs?
     I pray for our church and Pastor David and the staff and all the members. Draw us all closer to you.

"The person who sins shall die. A child shall not suffer for the iniquity of a parent, nor a parent suffer for the iniquity of a child. The righteousness of the righteous shall be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be his own. 
- Ezekiel 18:20

Thought for the Day: 
God forgives our sins and frees us from the penalty of sin. 

     Oh God, help us to live no longer under the shadow of sin. Help each of us come to you, and know that Christ is our Savior and defender. Amen.

I love you Lord Jesus, and I praise you!

I thank you for every blessing you have given to me.

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
