Blessings from Our Father




With eyes closed as we do our daily devotions Jeshua prays "Lord please let us get the red house so Jonah can make downstairs into a lab, and so we can have a beautiful house, and after we pick up the trash it will be beautiful."  That afternoon we get a call that we are one step closer to having an accepted offer.  So bedtime devotions all the boys decided we are going to pray for it again.  The following morning we get a call that the house is ours.  Thank you Jesus for showing my boys the power of prayer and boldly asking for what You want to bless us with. We teach them, and share with them your power but for them to experience it for themselves is what blesses me. You show yourself to us so clearly, but when my children get glimpses of you I am blown away by your power. Thank you Jesus for strengthening my boys' faith in You. 
So with that we are overjoyed by the blessing of our new home and a place where you will be praised.  We thank you for being so faithful to us.

Blessings upon blessings! Thrilled to bits for you all. Makes me want to know my Savior more for who I see him to be in your boys. Thanks.
