Happy Birthday Dad!

This past weekend, I had lunch with Dad at Disney World for his birthday! The waitress was great and surprised us with three types of deserts, miniature sized.

(Mom, make sure dad sees this!)

Prayer for the Day

Creator God, I confess that I am impatient with your timetable for my life. You are God and I am not. I control very little of the things that happen in my life. I often get too angry or frustrated with the unexpected troubles that come. 

I realize today that these "setbacks" can accomplish more in forming my character than when everything goes my way. May I learn to wait on Your timing and process, to hope and trust in You. May I delight myself in You today especially in the setbacks, interruptions, and troubles. Amen.

Be Imitators of Christ...

Dear Blog followers and readers,

It is clear that Jesus spent significant times of prayer and meditation with the Father when he walked this Earth 2000 years ago. 

Have you spent your time with the Father today?

I ask because I care about everyone who checks my blog regularly, and want you to know that that your spiritual well-being is important to me. 

Praying for my blog readers today,

Ronn 

Ephesians 5

Prayer

To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual. Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict. It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one's personal happiness.

I just found this pic on my computer. It was from our trip to Florida last month...

Yvette is going to be ticked I put it on here. :-) 

Prayer

Nowadays Christians appear to treat prayer as a means to accomplish their aims and ideas. If they possessed just a little deeper understanding, they would recognize that prayer is but man uttering to God what is God's will.
