Dear Ones, I pray you seek the Lord while you can find him and call on Him because He is near!

I pray that our ways that don’t serve the Lord are banished from our thoughts, actions and words. I pray that because of God‘s gracious forgiveness and mercy that we can turn to God and ask for the forgiveness our soul needs! So that, in turn, we can generously give to others what God has done for us: to give forgiveness, grace and mercy.

Remember, Dear Ones, that God’s thoughts are nothing like ours. His ways are far beyond anything that we can even imagine! For just as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are His ways higher than your ways and His thoughts higher than your thoughts. I pray you trust in the Lord, our God, accept His forgiveness, grace and mercy. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

It was fun being atop of the world with you two in Yosemite. Pete and I appreciate you and your loving respect for our daughter and us. I pray all blessings over you including joy, protection, prosperity and health. Amen.

Happy Birthday Blessings Sweet William.
