I Am Proud (4/13/06)

My Dear Children,
I have been thinking of you today and I have prayed for you as well. I think of you every day and I pray for you every day. I hope that you think of your family every day and pray for them every day; you should they are your blessing.

I have found that as you think of your loved one each day that different thoughts come to your mind. The thought that came to my mind today is that I am proud of my children, my natural children as well as my spiritual children. You do so many things that I am proud of. I know that every one of you have failed at times but in spite of that you have pressed on with life and have become over-comer’s I am proud of you.

I know that in the future you will fail and fall now and then but I know you will get up and press on again so I want you to remember I am proud of you. Don’t be to hard on yourself when you fail or when others fail you just quickly forgive and press on. Do not harbor any bad will toward yourself or another it just bring sickness and weakness into your own body and soul and causes your spirit to be heavy and unhappy.

There are two ways of doing things. The right way and the wrong way; always try to do things the right way. I will tell you why! When you do things the right way it makes you feel good. When you do things the wrong way we don’t get that good feeling.

The reason I am proud of you is that so often you have done things the right way. Sometimes when you do things the right way no one notice’s except one in heavenly places and then He is proud of you.

Sometimes it is very hard to do things the right way and very easy to do them the wrong way. I know that you will have the strength to go the right way. I am proud of you!

Well I guess that is all that is on my heart today I will write to you again in the near future.

With all my love and prayers.
Your Dad

Something new!

I am doing something new and different.

For many years we did a newsletter every month with a message and other information.   We are now down to two newsletter a year, one for the spring tour and one for the fall tour.  We will continue to do those two.

About four years ago I started writing letters to my children, the purpose was to put them in a book for my children and my  grandchildren. I wanted them to know about God and Jesus and our faith walk.  I wanted to encourage them and to correct them and to share our love and teach them the things of God. I wanted them to know about all the wondeful things god had done for and through us.

Several times I have mentioned to others this work I was doing. “Letters to my children”.  Each time I mentioned it The answer I got was, “I want it too”!

For several months the holy Spirit has been telling me I was to start posting these letters on e-mail and our web site.  I have decided to obey and do it.
