REVIEW

Father's day was a blessing to both of us. Receiving a card with best wishes from the grandchildren, with their special notes, made his day, and the cards and phone calls from the daughters were special. Reviewing our lives we are humbled by the love of our children and grandchildren.
Upstairs, sitting at my old Brothers word processor,where so many of my writings were done I reviewed poems I had written and not looked at for some time. These took me through the years of my christian life. Through the happy times, the sad times , the discouraging times, the times of need and the times where God felt so near I maybe could have reached out and touched him, but of course I didn't. I noticed a theme going through each of the writings. In almost every poem or writing my heart broke for others, those whom I love and those I barely know and then for those I don't know at all. I am so blessed by knowing my Savior. The desire of my heart is always for others to know Him too, and it came through while I reviewed my writings.
There was a used notebook there and picking it up I found things I had written to Heather, Athea, Heidi, and others, some friends, and some whose spouses had died, and some for birthday greetings to friends. The theme through these as I reviewed them was for a closer walk with their God, encouragement to believe He could take care of problems, or make situations right, or the blessing of putting him first in all situations.
What a wonderful day I had because I see in those I love their lives and I believe with all my heart God is working. My payers are being answered. What more could one ask for?
