I Understand, Thank You Father Day 295

Psalm 91:1-4 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler`s snare and from deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feather, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Thank you, God thank you, God.... what an incredible description of your love and protection for each and everyone of us. Your love raises us, protects us, prevents our self destruction, you shelter us with your arms of faithfulness and love.

As I sit here praying and listening to you, I feel the warmth of your mighty arms. What a blessing to write for your glory, to receive healing and share this incredible journey called life.


Father God, when you had me start this blog I had no clue the depth of the inner healing that it would produce in my soul. I finally, understand what happened in the life of my dear friend, Jim Mullen. You painfully walked me in and through doors that I needed to open. The agony of my tears cleansed and gave clarity to my grief and sorrow.

1 Samuel 30:4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.

That pretty much sums up the last several days for me; now my tears have been replaced by acceptance, understanding, forgiveness and the joy of the LORD.


For the first time in five years since Jim`s death, I picked up the phone and called his son Jimmy. What a joyous surprise, Sally, Jimmy and Amy were together preparing to go out to dinner to celebrate their father`s birthday. Also their first time of celebration in five years! Father, did I just receive one of my favorite, God-winks? Thanks, I needed that!


They joyfully shared that they plan to make this a yearly celebration to honor their father`s memory; Jimmy was delighted when I asked to be included in this annual celebration. Looks like Rick and I have plans for my 61st birthday.


Thank you, Father for the healing, love and forgiveness that I heard and felt from the family of my God-sent friend, Jim Mullen!

John 15:16-17 You did not choose me, but I chose you and anointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. AMEN!
