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.

My Heavenly Father,
     Thank you for the rain you sent. 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 bless each of them and keep them close to you, and save the ones who are lost?
     David told me they were praying for rain in Florida, that it was so dry that fires were starting everywhere. Would you send them some rain? I will give you all the praise.
     I pray for our church and Preacher David and his family and the staff and all the members, that we would all be drawn closer to you. I pray for David and Sandra's churches, that they would grow in spirit and in truth.

"Paul wrote, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."
- Phil. 3:14

     Our loving Father, who loves us and gives us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage our hearts and strengthen us to press on in every good deed and word. Amen.

Thought for the Day:
Your story of God's work in your life can strengthen others.

I love you Lord Jesus and I praise you!

I thank you for every blessing you have given to me and I thank you for what you're going to do.
