Thought of the night 11/30/16

Its been a day that seemed to go by so fast but nothing really happened.  I am amazed at just how uneventful this week has been.  With how i felt at the start of this week, i will gladly take that.

Lord, I would like to thank you for my family and everything that we have been thru to get us to the point we are at now.  Its a struggle at times, but when i see the laughter and love we have for one another and the love we have for you; it is all worth it.

I pray for safety for my family and loved ones tonight.  I pray for everyone who reads this; fill their needs Lord.  Show yourself so that once their prayers have been answered, there is no doubt that it is only thru your good grace that they have received.

I pray for anyone who is suffering tonight lord.  Heal them physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Send the Holy Spirit right now lord.

Finally, I pray for myself.  I pray lord that you continue to use me as a writing instrument in this book of life.  I thank you lord for using me despite me not being anywhere near perfect.

Daily Devotional – 11/30/16

If you own an iPhone, you need to have Max Lucado’s Daily Devotional podcast as it is the perfect way to start the morning.  With the podcast being only 1 min, it is short enough that you can fit it in with the hectic morning schedule and at the same time be filled with wonderful insight and encouragement from a Christian perspective on life.

In today’s devotional, Lucado focuses on “today’s problem not necessarily being tomorrow problem”.  He goes on to talk about not setting yourself up for failure.  Just because your dad was a drunk does not mean you will be one as well!  Lucado reminds us to “…stand against the wiles of the Devil” (Ephesians 6:11).  The complete verse reads as such in the bible.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Do yourself a favor, head over to the search button in your Podcast app and subscribe to Max Lucado’s Daily Devotional.  For Android or people who would like to listen on their computers your can find then here.  Itunes and Mac users can find them here.

Have a blessed morning everyone.  May God show his favor in all that you do. -PJSLB

A Fathers Prayer For His Children

baby-22194_1280

As I sit here on the the edge of my daughters bed here on the beautiful island of Guam, I am aware of your love for me and my family. The quietness of the night with a hint of Jim Brickman playing in the background has set the mood of reflection. I see peace in the eyes of my children. When they talk, I hear happiness and hope. When I ask my kids “who is the one person you love more than mom and dad?” I am proud to hear them say JESUS! You have given them everything they need in life. At such a young age, I can already see you working in them. All the blessings I have coming to me…lord, redirect them to my kids. They are wiser than I ever was or will be. I have wasted many opportunities that you have given me. I promise I will see to it that the kids continue to know where all their blessings come from and teach them to be bold to use it. In Jesus name amen.
