My Prayer Today



Thank you, Father, for our Florida trip. What a gift to spend time with my kids and grandkids from afar. Today is full of good memories. I saw you in the beauty of the ocean waves and sand. In the simple pray of a grandchild giving thanks before a meal. You were there in the smile of my infant grandson and in my kids love for their children. Please keep our hearts close even though we are separated by miles. Help us love you more each day and may our love for family grow.

The blessing of the LORD makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it. Prov. 10:22

"This is what life is about; it's about giving. When you do receive back, it just makes that so much greater"---Haughes

Daily prayers for my kids

Faithfulness: "Let love and faithfulness never leave my children, but bind these twin virtues around their necks and write them on the tablet of their hearts" (Prov. 3:3)


This necklace made by Aunt Lois symbolizes to me the love and faithfulness of family. Where human love has failed, God wants you to know His love and faithfulness always has you anchored in a safe place.
