Good evening Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride and watching out for her this day!
Thank You for our precious child, sheโs a real blessing!
All the best in our lives, we know comes from You O Lord.
Every day we walk in the knowledge that our time is limited in this life.
That said, we live each day as a walk of Faith, trusting You for a successful dayโs journey.
Today , as children of Your light, we did shine and I pray Lord, You continue to bless us with the presence of Your Spirit and the light within us to shine, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. ๐๏ธ

๐๏ธ The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.
Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man. ๐๏ธ
Proverbs 8:1-11, 22-31

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my precious daughter!
All that I am and possess, it is because of You O Lord,
Thank You Father!
All my words are like the dust of the earth, but the Words of the Lord are like buried treasures.
There are no maps to guide me to find the treasure. I must receive it from the creator of this world, from the magnificent being who created me and gave me breath.
Godโs Spirit is within me, working through me, carefully guiding me on my life journey.
Father, I raise my hands up to You this day and Praise You for my life and all that You have made in me and through me.
Help me O Lord, to cast off the sin that trips me up, and help me to reject the sinful nature, which battles with my mind and my spirit daily. Guide my lips when I speak the words in my heart, that they may lift up those who hear me.
May Your Spirit shine brightly in and through me, in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. ๐๏ธ
Psalms 8:9-9:2

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
My Lord and my God, I lift my hands to You this morning, I lift my heart.
I pray Your Spirit fill me this day, that I may walk as Your child of the light, speaking kindly and with Love, to the strangers who walk in the darkness around me.
Give me the wisdom to speak Your Word in the appropriate time and place, which will be heard and be a blessing. Guide my feet on the path which leads to You Father!
Heal me O Lord! My body is growing old, my arms are weak and my knees in pain. My legs get me where I am going but I need a cane to steady my steps. My eyes are cloudy at times and my vision failing. Restore my mind and my body I pray. Only enough to see my way and walk towards the purpose You have set for me on my life journey.
Guide my thoughts towards the dynamic view of Your world of Love and peace.
Strengthen my hands to write the words as I describe my journey and my experiences.
Bless me Father, to walk in the light and shine this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spiritโjust as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your callโ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christโs gift. ๐๏ธ

All that we are and possess are blessings from You O Lord!
I lift my hands in Praise this day, for the glory of Your Spirit working in each of us, Your Children.
Lead us Lord, with purpose and conviction in our calling, the path of Righteousness, wisdom, mercy, Truth, and Love.
May Your light shine in us this day, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Come now, you who say, โToday or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profitโโ yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.
What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
Instead you ought to say, โIf the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.โ
As it is, you boast in your arrogance.
All such boasting is evil.
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my lovely daughter!
All that we are and possess are blessings from You Father.
Thank You!
I lift my hands to You this day, Father, and pray You fill me with Your Spirit, that I might be Your child of light and Love, in this world of darkness and sin.
May Your light guide my path this day.
Protect me Father, from stumbling.
My legs are weak and my joints are sore and hurting.
Heal me Father!
That I might continue my journey this day, and live to see another.
Bless me Father, this day, and my family, that we may bring glory to Your holy name, in all we say and do.
May our day be filled with purpose and our hearts be true.
May our hearts be true, always, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.
Therefore it says,
โAwake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.โ
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. ๐๏ธ

May I bring glory to Your holy name this day, in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands! ๐๏ธ

a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my awesome daughter!
Everything I have and possess, I consider blessings from above.
Every day I pray and ask for Your Spirit to fill my heart and direct my way.
Each and every day, without disappointment, Your answer comes and every part of me rejoices!
You have shown me O Lord, throughout all my seasons in this life, so many meaningful paths to follow and choices to make, and yet the most significant of all, You give me free-will to decide my fate.
In my view now, when Your Spirit fills my heart and mind, I see so many things I could have changed but I quickly turn my focus back to today, not reliving the past but seeking a brighter future, one moment at a time, one step at a time, one day at a time, and then each of the seasons begin again. As always, there You are with me, in me, working through me.
I pray this day, O Lord, once again, asking You to fill me with Your Spirit, guide my steps, direct my path. You give me the choice to decide my way, but in each step I take, I think to myself, if I only had more time, I could do this or that, thinking, if I could see all the alternative outcomes of my decisions and have the ability to decide the best one, how awesome that would be. Then Your Spirit quickens to my memory Your Word, which provides me the solution. Your Word shows me you will not give me more than I can handle, You are there with me, through each season, guiding my steps, like a loving father, who deeply loves his child. I only need to step out each day, in Faith, trusting your leading me and trust Your Spirit is guiding me along the path to the best choice and decision. Thank You Lord!
๐๏ธ What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, โHe yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in usโ?
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, โGod opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.โ
Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? ๐๏ธ

๐๏ธ The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. ๐๏ธ
Luke 6:45
๐๏ธ Why do you call me โLord, Lord,โ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.โ ๐๏ธ

The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
The LORD lifts up the humble;
he casts the wicked to the ground. ๐๏ธ

Long ago, when You could have turned Your eyes from me, You fixed Your gaze upon me, You witnessed my pending destruction, You sent Your angels to care for me and protect me from destruction.
You put Your Word in my hands and I read them all.
Each letter and word, was like tasting the manna in my wilderness wandering.
My heart swelled, my mind grew, and I truly was โBorn again!โ
You filled me with Your Spirit and set me free!
I pray this day Father, your light continues to shine, once again, in and through all I say and do, in Jesusโ name Amen!

Lord, When I pray, โForgive me my trespassesโ, I pray You quicken to my memory, just what they are, so I might go to the ones I have trespassed against and ask for forgiveness.
Father, I see and hear, daily, of the plight of the people of Gaza, who are suffering tremendously at the hands of the Israelite people. I pray O Lord, for mercy, grace, and peace upon them this day. May the hearts of the leaders be softened, may the suffering receive the food and medicine they need for daily sustenance and healing, and may there be peace between their peoples.
We may never know the whole story or the full details surrounding the war between these two people, but I canโt just turn away from the suffering and loss, especially the children, Lord. Bless them this day Lord, with the relief they need and cry out for. Bring Peace and calm upon their leaders.
May Your light shine upon me in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name,Amen!

Last night and this morning I awoke from my dreams twice and each time I returned to my rest, I returned to the same dream. I was teaching others about how to work and earn their way in this life.
Father, I pray, fill me with Your Spirit and use me to lead other souls I encounter, what I will say and how I might shine Your light into their world, so they too might see and sense Your presence around them, working to keep them safe and guiding them on their way, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ โAnd when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Pray then like this:
โOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

She gave of herself always and made many sacrifices for all of us, her six children. My mother, Evelyn, was the strongest person I have ever known. I pray Lord, I have developed and pass on these same traits of love, care, understanding, and above all the same strong Faith she taught me.

๐๏ธ Then they said to him, โWhat must we do, to be doing the works of God?โ Jesus answered them, โThis is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.โ So they said to him, โThen what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you?
What work do you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.โโ Jesus then said to them, โTruly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.โ They said to him, โSir, give us this bread always.โ
Jesus said to them, โI am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.โ ๐๏ธ

O Lord, my God, thank You for the life and walk of faith You have lead me on these years from my youth. I have learned so many hard lessons in this life because of my stubbornness and rebellious attitude. You have given me so many examples to follow and how to overcome lifeโs challenges.
You saved me when I was at my lowest point in my young years, as if a slap in my face to wake me up, like a splash of fresh cold water on my face. You used pure Love and the people of faith around me to show me what that Love and Faith looks like.
I believe I have and will always give thought to my words and actions, prior to placing my feet in a new direction and before opening my mouth without Love and grace in my use of my words. I pray as always, You bless me this day, fill me with Your Spirit and may Your light shine in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name Amen!
๐๏ธ Then Moses said to the people of Israel, โSee, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaverโby any sort of workman or skilled designer. ๐๏ธ

In my Word study and prayer time this morning Lord, I find the man Bezalel, was filled with the Spirit of God, to possess and teach, an artistic ability to craft the most intricate of works, used mainly for constructing the Sanctuary and Tabernacle of God. Lord You filled this man with Your Spirit, to inspire and gift his mind with the tools he needed to accomplish his work and artistry.
I pray O Lord that each of my children and grandchildren may be blessed with the same Spirit, may we each learn to use more, the talents You have given us, to become successful in our endeavors to support ourselves and those who are in need.
Thank You Father for my gifts and talents. I pray as I explore my passions for each, You bless me with Your Spirit, the wisdom, knowledge, and gift of skills for the works I endeavor to create.
In all things, may I bring You glory in all I say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
I pray this day O Lord, You fill me with Your Spirit, may I bring glory to Your holy name.
May Your Spirit bless my family and guide us in all our affairs, may we shine Your light in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Jesus answered him, โIf anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Fatherโs who sent me.
โThese things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ๐๏ธ
John 14:23-27

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for bringing me into this world!
Thank You for my sweet bride and our lovely daughter!
Thank You for Your many blessings and the means to have and obtain more than just our provisions, but enough to share with others in need.
Thank You for my adult children and my grandchildren!
Bless these who I have loved and whom my heart aches to bring closer
May Your Holy Spirit fill the emptiness in my heart with Love and Kindness toward others.
May the void between my children and me not be a distraction from the work You have given me to accomplish. Help me O Lord, to fulfill the mission and purpose for which my life was created. May I know and sense Your presence all around me daily, and may Your light which fills me, shine brighter than ever, in all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ But if anyone has the worldโs goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does Godโs love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for giving me life!
Thank You for My sweet bride!
Thank You for blessing us with a child!
I Pray Lord, may we always have enough of the things we need, to share with those who lack.
May Your Spirit fill us with the love and kindness only You can give, and may we shine Your light, this day, in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name Amen!
๐๏ธ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ๐๏ธ
Philippians 4:4-7

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for our babygirl!
All we are and possess are blessings from You Lord!
Bless us this day with Your Spirit, may we shine Your light in all we say and do, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
All day long I want to praise Your holy name, and then the distractions come.
I find myself refreshed again, turning my focus back on lifting Your praises on all things in my life, from the dawn to the dusk, when I lay my head down again to rest. I love You Lord!
Thank You for my Life!
I feel the life around me and it is good. I hear our daughter speak and it pleases me. I enjoy her laughter and her smile.
Thank You for giving me these things.
Thank You for allowing me to enjoy my life.
My lovely bride greets me every morning with a kiss on my lips and my forehead, as I read Your Word for the day and prepare my daily message.
Thank You Father, for my life!
Bless me Father, with Your Spirit, and may Your light shine upon all I say and do this day, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
๐๏ธ Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.
For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. ๐๏ธ

Good morning Father!
Thank You for this day!
Thank You for my life!
Thank You for my sweet bride!
Thank You for my beautiful daughter!
Thank You for Your grace and mercy, which is upon me every day Lord.
Thank You for Your Holy Spirit, which sanctifies me and gives me a sense of confidence Iโm walking in the path of the Way, and in Your light of truth and righteousness.
Help me to steady my walk and not waver!
I pray for strength in my bones and my body, which is aging. Help my eyes to see clearly, what is before me at all times, my hands to hold onto the tools of my trade and to perform my duties as a husband, father, and caretaker of our home. Above all Lord, may Your Holy Spirit, quicken my mind, focusing my thoughts on Your Word and Your Way, which guides all men of faith, in Jesusโ name, Amen!
