A child of God

Today this physical body of mine turns 42, but I I am still just a child.

A child of God

 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.  –Psalms 103:5

 

 

 

It has been an amazing year of God’s blessings. God is faithful to His word.

Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. – Galatians 3:8-9

 Our yearly Christmas letter is on its way and you can read about several of our blessings there, but in case you didn’t get our Christmas letter (give us your address we’d love to send you one), I wanted to share a few of those blessings with you today.

-It has been almost a year since Denver’s heart attack. Praise God for his healing and for the year that we have had together growing in our walk with Christ.

Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. – Psalms 30:2

-Sixteen years ago, I crushed a vertebrae in my back from a skydiving accident and have dealt with pain ever since, but God healed my back and I am pain free.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. – Proverbs 3:7-8

 

-Although the budget for the mission trip to South Sudan looked impossible in our eyes, God has provided everything that we need.  Praise God!!!

for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.- Philippians 2:13

 

- Being filled with God’s Holy Spirit.

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. – Ephesians 5:18-21

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. – Acts 2:4

 

-The love of our precious children and grandchildren, the love of wonderful parents, and the love and support of an amazing church family. I thank God for every member of His body because every one of you is important in my life even the thousands of members that I have never met but the spirit that is in me knows you well and loves you…..so much that He gave you his only son.
