My Dear Children,
I want to encourage you to be aware of the people around you that you can be a blessing to, or that need a helping hand. It seems like in this day and age most people are more interested in what I can get, not in what I can give. One of the things I came to see was the more I owned; the more it owned me. Don’t desire after to many things, they all have a way of becoming a burden.
When I look back at these many years that God has blessed me with, I think of the folks God put in my life to bless me. Some of these folks I never even knew their names. I think of an incident that happened in Detroit Mi. on one of our trips. It happened on I-94 in the middle of rush hour. It was winter and it was raining very hard with wind and right at the freezing point and I had a flat tire. I pulled over to the side of the interstate as far as I could and I started to get out of the van. A motorcycle cop pulled right up on side of me and said, “stay in the car, I will help you.” He had all this raingear on and he got out the jack, jacked up the van, changed the tire and sent us on our way. I was amazed that there was a motorcycle cop out in that terrible weather. I don’t even know his name, but I remember him. I wanted to give him something but he and would not take a cent, he was a giver. Every now and then we are blessed by an angel. This cop was an angel. Maybe if you are alert you can become an angel to someone.
Beloved children, I have another very important issue to write about. Our nation is in distress in many ways. It seems like half our nation is on fire, is in the midst of droughts or floods with great loss of homes, millions of unemployed folks, violent outbreaks in schools and businesses, and even worse than these things; our nations is rejecting God and casting him out of one area after another where we need His blessing and wisdom. We are allowing God to be removed from every part of our nation’s life. God is allowing this to happen because He does not force Himself on any nation or anyone.
Have you given any thought as to why the increase of all this pain, loss and distress in our country?
The blessing is gone! We would be wise to pay attention to what the Lord said to Solomon. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14:
If I shut up the heavens so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people. And my people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked way, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Dear loved ones: We have an enemy that is out to destroy our Christian values, our faith and all that is important to us. We are at a crucial point for our nation. If we do not act all is lost and we will continue the downward slide. We need Gods blessing on our land, and in our homes.
Dear family, my prayer is we will all see clearly and act accordingly.
May God bless you with wisdom!
My Love and prayers,
Dad
