Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!<\/p>\n

Well Father, today marks a milestone for PhatherPhil.org.\u00a0 This post is the 300th<\/sup> \u201cemail to God\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span> that I\u2019ve shared with the world.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a wonderful journey so far Lord, and I feel truly Blessed to have been guided down this path with You.<\/p>\n

Along with strengthening my bond to You Father, this site has also brought another wonderful and unexpected Blessing to my life as well; it\u2019s connected me to an Internet fellowship of believers, many of which I\u2019ve come to regard as valued friends.\u00a0 Without their daily encouragement, postings on their blogs that teach and inspire their readers, and their kind thoughts and prayers, PhatherPhil.org would not have come this far.\u00a0 Therefore, to celebrate this happy event Father, I\u2019d like to give thanks to some of these wonderful people.<\/p>\n

Jenifer at \u201c~Sweet Blessings~<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Jenifer; you\u2019re a wonderfully sweet and tender soul; a true Child of God in every way.\u00a0 Your posts each day bring a smile to my face, and never fail to inspire me.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Lisa at \u201cA Moment With God<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Lisa; I\u2019ve learned so much from your posts, and from your friendship.\u00a0 You find messages in Scripture that make me reach deeper, and I\u2019m Blessed each day by your efforts.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Jean at \u201cHealthy Spirituality<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Jean; Reading your site dear lady, I often feel as though I\u2019m sitting quietly with you having coffee.\u00a0 Your beautiful spirit comes through in every post, and you raise questions that expand my mind, and make my heart reach for truth.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Allison at \u201cBeautiful in Him<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Allison; Your energy for the Lord is infectious!\u00a0 Your posts expose a beautifully vibrant heart, and your love of Christ shows through in every article.\u00a0 You\u2019ve inspired me in many ways through your writing and your service to others, and for that I thank you.<\/p>\n

Kelli and Heidi at \u201cMothers On Mission<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Ladies; Although your site is geared towards women, I\u2019ve gained so much inspirations from reading your posts.\u00a0 And even though I\u2019m not your \u201ctarget reader\u201d<\/em> \ud83d\ude42 , you\u2019ve always encouraged me and kindly included me in the discussions.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Eileen at \u201cThe Scenic Route<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Eileen; I think Eileen, you\u2019re one of the most insightful people I\u2019ve had the pleasure of knowing.\u00a0 You see God\u2019s messages in everyday life with wondrous clarity, and relay them to your readers in eloquent fashion.\u00a0 You have a beautiful heart, and I thank you for sharing it with us.<\/p>\n

Mandy at \u201cGrowing with God<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Mandy; I\u2019ve very much enjoyed watching your Walk with the Lord grow closer in your posts.\u00a0 You\u2019ve seen through the clouds of trial, and have emerged into His light.\u00a0 Thank you for sharing your journey with us.<\/p>\n

Alida at \u201cBlackpurl\u2019s Knitpickings\u2026 An Expat Journal<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Alida; Through your photos, your postings and your comments here, I\u2019ve gained wonderful insight into what it means to truly spend your life in God\u2019s service.\u00a0 I seldom leave your site without a smile, and thank you for Blessing us with your work.<\/p>\n

Kandi at \u201cGet Out of the Boat<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Kandi; Your words are so transparently lovely Kandi\u2026 You bring your heart to every post, and I truly believe God smiles when you\u2019re writing.\u00a0 Thank you for letting us peek in on your kind spirit, and for sharing your Walk with us.<\/p>\n

Elaine at \u201cPeace for the Journey<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Elaine; You have a stalwart energy, and a thirst for knowing Christ\u2019s heart that I rarely see.\u00a0 Your writing is simply elegant, and I\u2019ve gained much perspective and inspiration in sharing your journey this past year.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Debra at \u201cPure and Simple<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Debra; You have a purity to your writing Debra, which I feel makes God\u2019s presence shine in your postings.\u00a0 Your tender heart is always apparent, but is aligned closely with a wisdom that educates and inspires as well.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

Christopher at \u201cThe Happy Seeker<\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> : Christopher; My dear friend, I feel a remarkable connection between us, even though we\u2019ve never actually met.\u00a0 You have a beautiful energy that you share with your readers, and you bring that presence to everything you write.\u00a0 \u201cMeeting\u201d<\/em> you has truly been a Blessing.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

And there are so many more Father\u2026 Blessed souls, all of them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father,<\/p>\n

Thank you Lord, for connecting me with such a wonderful fellowship of believers, and for Blessing this ministry as You have.\u00a0 I look forward to many, many more conversations.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 Name we pray,<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
