"I'm blessed just to be here. Just to be in the land of the living. I've got another chance to testify, of how good God's been to me!" Those were the words echoed by the choir this morning in church. If everyone would utter those same words to someone else, Daddy said we would be fulfilling our mission to tell the world about Jesus. I have to admit that the song touched me today. Just knowing that God grants us another day with health and strength gets me excited.
Today we actually got out of the house with a whole lot of time to spare. We were able to stop for breakfast and still arrived to Sunday School a half hour early. It was a great day outside and a great day to worship together as a family. Family together in worship is something I try to lead my family in doing all the time. We pray together daily and you can catch us sometimes having our own little praise service in the house. Being a preacher's kid, C.J. will be around the church a lot. However my prayer is that she understands that there is more to church than just going. I hope she understand that she must accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior. Mommy and Daddy's profession of faith will not help her. It will be an example but she must profess it on her own.
Tonight we sat and watched the tenth annual Celebration of Gospel together as a family. That is until the three became two because C.J. fell asleep. One thing C.J. already knows about her daddy is that he celebrates gospel music daily. Gospel music is in my pores and pours out daily. I just pray that what C.J. hears will resonate as messages on how to live and how to give God all the Praise.
Today was a great day and I pray that all our Sunday evenings can be shared this way. Home, together and in Worship! You all pray as we retire tonight. We know that prayer always changes things!!!
