Praise

Biologically Fathering not Spiritually surrounded by Children
Praise God , He has shown me that although I am not a Father due to a variety of medical reasons or perhaps His design, He has blessed me with many spiritual children that I am entrusted with to pour the word and blessing of God into, to pray for to watch and to pray and to disciple..... What a great gift He has given me..... Today there is a huge shift in my attitude regarding this.... I have come full circle through the Holy Spirit a place of why me and lack and bitterness, to gratitude for the precious lives he has given me to mentor... I love you Lord thank you so much for entrusting your true riches with me as I am faithful in small things you have given me much greater more enternal things to steward........ Oh and God , it was a real hoot to see Brian on my radar right before I went to a difficult family gathering, I was just able to say Hi and Happy Fathers Day..... That connection to community reminded me that I'm not alone in this walk, that you are all with me as the Bride of Christ.... My thoughts and prayers are totally changed for the better, such a richer deeper walk with Christ now..... He is working a miracle in me I am becoming other focused and eternally minded rather than completely narcisitic..... Praise you Lord,LORD,Lord you are Holy,Holy,Holy...... Amen!

Rick, I missed this until now, I don't know how that happens! :( I am so in praise with you about the light turning on in this area! You have so much to pour into others, and imagine the impact if Christians were not so focused on their own proginy and poured themselves into younger people as father/grandfather/mother/grandmother figures.. a cup of tea and unconditional love... My prayers are so with you as you develope this new calling. Nurturing other people in the kingdom is so much like bearing children unto the LORD. If love between two people produce biological offspring, love between ourselves and our God should produce spiritual offspring... I'm not talking about only evangelism... I'm talking about people willing to invest whole heartedly into the lives of those HE loves. You have hit such an incredibly beautiful component to true Christianity!!!! hug!
