every day should be Father’s Day

Michael

As important as it is to honor our earthly fathers, how often do I honor my Heavenly Father? Just a quick thought: The same God who created the universe with a word, opened up the earth to swallow rebels, visited His people in a temple built with human hands, and sent His own Son to be the propitiation for my sins – this God called me to be His child through adoption. He is compassionate and tender. Continue reading every day should be Father’s Day

3rd time’s the charm…?

Michael

I have been set free from the needle today. An immunization needle, mind you. (Just wanted to clarify that one!) 😉 I received my last vaccination for the trip to China. We still have not heard any news on the referral or travel. This is just the completion of another preliminary step in the adoption process. Incidentally, I would ask that you please pray for my family as we continue to wait…and wait…and…well, you get the idea! Patience is a hard virtue to put into practice. Trusting in the Lord’s provision (and timing) is also a constant struggle. We humans … Continue reading 3rd time’s the charm…?
