The Day After

Today is the day after my 63rd Birthday. It's been a good day, a good birthday, a great week.

I'm making this entry from my bedroom window, at my desk, under deep blue skies, listening to the evening tweets of birds preparing to settle down for the night.  There doesn't seem to be any visible stars, or moon, at least from my window view.  There's a peaceful quietness among my neighbors in the complex where I live.  A perfect ending to a beautiful day.

Today I am 62 years old.  It's been a long journey, yet short.  

As I look back over my life, I can truly say that I've lived a full and abundant life. What I lacked in riches, was made up in knowing and experiencing the True and Living God.  No one can tell me that the Lord does not exist for I know He is.

The earliest memory I have of the Lord is at age 6 when He visited me in a dream.  At age 20 He called me to preach the gospel, it came to pass 12 years later.  

God's Word has been "a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  He has guided me through the storms of life-----, held me together when I was alone and frighten, enabled me to walk on water with Him in ministry, and so much more.

There's a song (written by Andre` Crouch) that comes to mind on this day.  It says ----

"How can I say thanks for all the things you've done for me.  Things so undeserved, yet you gave to prove your love for me.  The voices of a million angels cannot compare my gratitude.  For all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to thee.  To God be the glory, to God be the glory.  To God be the glory for the things He has done."

Thank You, LORD, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
