Happy Father’s Day

Joyce Photos 027

As we celebrate Father’s Day this weekend,  I consider myself blessed to see the promises of God fulfilled in my family.   Although the home I was raised in was not under the influence of a godly father, my father loved me and provided the security and bond of a loving protector.

God richly blessed me when he hand picked for me a husband, who under the leadership of his father, is a man of integrity and a wonderful father to our three sons. 

Through losing my father as a young woman, I found comfort as the Word of God  promised that God would be a Father to the fatherless.  I have felt and clung to Him as my Heavenly Father who continually gives an abundant supply of love, mercy, grace, peace and joy. 

This weekend I am thankful for the influences of fathers and godly men in my life and anticipate the fulfillment of the promises of God in the lives of my sons.

    You have been blessed with the men in your life! I have two grown sons who are much like their father... also men of integrity with a strong commitment to their families... to love, protect, and provide. You have much to look forward to...watching your sons become husbands and fathers. It is a special blessing!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
