Dear Lord; Good evening Father!
Well Father, it’s certainly been a hectic day around here albeit a positive and somewhat enlightening one. Some “puzzle pieces” in my life are starting to fit together into something recognizable. Thank You for that glimmer of a picture… I can’t wait to see the completed image.
Today Lord, I started the morning with a happy grin on my face. While driving the kids to school, the song “Children of God” performed by the group Third Day came on the radio:
My head was elsewhere initially, but I snapped to when I realized I was being serenaded by my two boys in the back seat singing the children’s part. What a joyous smile it brought hearing them praising You in song first thing in the morning! Better than coffee Father. 🙂
On another note Father, I started a new book yesterday that I’ve very much been looking forward to reading. It’s written by Pete Wilson, Senior Pastor for Cross Point Church and the book is titled “Plan B: What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would?”. I only had time to get through the first couple chapters last night, but I’m enjoying it so far. Pastor Wilson brings a wonderful “genuine” feel to his writing, and I’m excited to see where this tome takes me in the chapters ahead.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the smiles of the day, for fitting puzzle pieces, for connecting me with others who inspire me along my journey, and for remaining ever-vigilant and ever-faithful in Your Love for us all. Amen.

I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
I love that song. I’m thankful that I am His child.
Me too Allison!

What an amazing thing that we could be called children of God. How great is the Fathers love for us.
I love to hear children singing in worship to God. 🙂
It is an amazing gift to have such a Devoted Father! And I agree Lisa… It was a wonderful way to start my day!
Have a Blessed Day!
Phil, I just posted this on my facebook page yesterday! 🙂 I have always loved the song, but when I saw the video it really spoke to me.
I am adopted by God! The Creator of the unverise. He choose me and loves me. It is so incredible!
Isn’t it wonderful how God places things in our hearts… Such an amazing message in the video as well!
Have a Blessed Day Jenifer!

You post made me smile today and filled my heart with love and praise Thank you Phil!
Thank you Jean… Your posts do that for me quite often as well. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
It is so awesome to hear sweet voices of our children singing and worshiping their Heavenly Father! My girls love to sing “Jesus Messiah” and “Here I am to Worship.” Tears usually end up dripping before we even pull up to the school! Great song!
I was right there as well Kelli… Big grin and wet eyes. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
I love when we see more glimpses of the puzzle! And, I also love moments like this with my son too. Let us know how his book is. I’ve got it on my list to read!
Thank you Eileen! I’m seeing more and more little pieces come together, so it’s kind of exciting to see where He’s leading me!
Have a Blessed Day!
P.S. The book is EXCELLENT so far. 🙂
I love looking at what He reveals as puzzle pieces… it describes it perfectly. He gives us a little and then a little more and then a picture begins to come in to focus. He is so good… giving us just what we need keep following, seeking and searching. Blessings!
I’ve been getting more and more pieces from Him lately Heidi, and I’m starting to get excited to see where He’s leading me. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
We are all children of God! We need to praise him and honor him because HE is our strength, knowledge and source of everything. HE is our guidance in everything we do in our life.I praise you GOD.
